There's not quite enough mystery here, and no amount of pretty pastoral settings can make up for that.

Despite being well acted and sweetly moving when it strips down to the tender poem at its heart, Till Human Voices Wake Us spends too much time playing to an otherworldly suspense that simply isn't there.
Janice Page, Boston Globe
Rotten
It's telling just how uninvolving Till Human Voices Wake Us is that by film's end, you'll just be relieved it's over.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

I'd recommend you actively or passively forget this one.

It walks an odd path through romance, psychology and the netherworld, but it's a walk worth taking.
Tom Long, Detroit News
