Strange Voices

1987

New York

Arthur Allan Seidelman

Drama

What’s it all about: Nancy McKeon and Valerie Harper play the title roles in a made-for-TV movie about New York accents and schizophrenia. 

First Encounter: first viewing

Prostitute Index: nil

Death By: voices that tell all your sister’s secrets

Relics: Radio Shack computer, 80s hair sculptures, Heathers-style blazer outfits

Hoops: having your worst episode at a party in front of all your friends, telling off a judgey neighbor, destroying the architecture model you’ve worked so hard on as a metaphor for your ruined life

Heartthrob: Tricia Leigh Fisher

LoFi Magic: none

Makes me want to: never have schizophrenia

Candotti take: I like that the movie starts straight to the point, the first jogging and she already has some problems.

Worth a watch/rewatch: Yes
