THE PHONE CALL (2013) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Mat Kirby
Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent
A woman working in a crisis phone-line center fields a call from a man who's in the process of killing himself. An Oscar-winning short film that's marginally more uplifting than that plot description probably suggests. Sally Hawkins plays the woman who answers the phone. Jim Broadbent plays the voice on the other end of the line.
