Release


The Human Voice had its world premiere at the 77th Venice International Film Festival on 3 September 2020. Later that month, Sony Pictures Classics acquired American distribution rights to the film. It also screened at the New York Film Festival on 24 September 2020, and at the BFI London Film Festival on 17 October 2020. It was released in Spain on 21 October 2020 by Wanda Films and Avalon. In the United States, the film was released in select theatres on 12 March 2021. Pathé acquired the UK rights to the short film, and released it on 19 May 2021 (originally given a 7 November 2020 release) through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures via 20th Century Studios and Buena Vista International; it was the last film released by Pathé under the current Fox–Disney deal at the time, as the company would sign a new deal with Warner Bros. in June of that year.




Critical reception


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 64 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "The Human Voice unites Pedro Almodóvar and Tilda Swinton for a short film whose rich rewards are belied by its abbreviated length." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 88 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".
Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film four out of five stars, describing it as "a tale of someone isolated, regretful, anxious, unable to tell whether current arrangements are contingent or permanent, retreating into gestures of self-immolating despair."
