Starring Tessa Thompson, The Listener is a simple yet powerful story of finding connection and hope through the dark times. Our TribecaFilmFestival review:
It’s often been said that all acting is reacting, and Tessa Thompson makes an excellent case for that throughout The Listener. The film follows Thompson’s character, Beth, one night as she volunteers for a crisis helpline, listening to everyone from a teenage runaway in an abusive relationship to a veteran experiencing PTSD to a struggling actress lamenting all the fake people in her life.
RELATED: Tribeca Festival 2023 Full Feature Film Lineup Includes 'Downtown Owl' and 'Bucky F*cking Dent' The film very much feels like a product of COVID due to the single location, and the pandemic seeps into other aspects of the film as well. It’s referenced several times by the callers and touches on it in one of the most honest, natural, and effective ways I’ve ever seen in media. It’s fascinating — and tragic — learning how it affected a man just out of prison, as well as a woman living in a houseless encampment. It’s not the movie’s focus, and that’s to its benefit.
