Full Plot Details

In the middle of the Mojave desert rests an abandoned phone booth, riddled with bullet holes, graffiti, its windows broken, but otherwise functioning. Its identity was born on the Internet and for years, travelers would make the trek down a lonely dirt road and camp next to the booth, in the hopes that it might suddenly ring, and they could connect with a stranger (often from another country) on the other end of the line. This is the story of four disparate people whose lives intersect with this mystical outpost, and the comfort they seek from a stranger's voice: There is Beth, a troubled woman facing dilemmas with her love-life and a recurring, baffling crime; Mary, a young South African, who is contemplating selling her body for the funds to escape her dreadful existence; Alex, a woman who is losing her lover, Glory, to the belief she is plagued by aliens, and Richard, driven into desperation by a separation from his wife, who happens upon the booth after his failed suicide attempt. Exploring themes of love, death, the mystery of the universe, and the phenomenon of inter-connectivity, Mojave Phone Booth pitches us deep into the lives and psyches of these working class characters in Las Vegas.

User Review - 8/10 by Jennifer SA movie that definitely has this creepy, uneasy vibe of something lurking just below the surface of the sunlight and the tumbleweeds of the Las Vegas setting. Audio and video tape play a central theme, being found tangled up in bushes everywhere and used to contain people's dark secrets, desires, experiences. I found it interesting that such a medium is what's being explored as opposed to, say, broken CDs or something in this day and age. So what does tape represent, exactly? In my mind, it's the last physical form of information. With digital devices, things that are recorded show up on screen, but what carries them bears little relevance anymore. Information is just information, stored perhaps on a teeny tiny silicon chip that's smaller than the size of a person's fingernail. It can be devastating or beautiful, but no longer truly destroyed if it is uploaded onto the internet or wherever. Tapes, on the other hand, remain to remind the characters of the things they'd rather forget. For Beth, the tape reveals just how crazy her lover is in his attempts to convince her to move in with him by breaking into her car night after night. For Mary, the tape serves proof of how much of her soul she is willing to give up for money. For Alex, the tape is a terrible reminder of how irrational her girlfriend is, in tandem with the man who claims to "heal" her; and finally, for Richard, the tape is the ultimate failure of his life, something that only drives his separated wife farther from him, and reveals that she was never truly happy with him in the first place. I really want to analyze all these characters to pieces... but I have to choose my battles carefully. The most important comparison, though, that I want to make between characters is the one between Richard and Barry. Throughout the whole time that we see him, Richard is so miserable, so in pain. Barry, on the other hand, doesn't feel anything for anyone besides this sense of vague amusement at the prostitutes he hires. In this way, he vaguely reminds me of American Psycho's Patrick Bateman (especially when he draws the lever for paper towels in the bathroom with his elbow in an OCD kind of manner), only a lot less dangerous. He's the type that a person has to invite into their lives to do any real damage - and when Mary entertains the notion of trying to get out of what she must do for the money, he simply says she won't get the money, end of story (as opposed to trying to murder her). But MY POINT IS that Barry seems so smug that he doesn't have to endure the pain that Richard deals with - no human connection, no trouble that comes with it - but really it is Richard who is the better person. The woman on the other end of the Mojave Phone Booth line knows this, but sadly, she can't do much as he bleeds to death. That made me really sad. I wondered why his wife bothered marrying him at all because she seemed like such an unhappy, unsatisfied person in general. I was glad to see that Mary wound up relatively okay, working at the Vegas bar/casino alongside Alex. I wondered who the woman on the phone really was, but could easily imagine some spry old lady who'd traveled the world and just wants to help people in her own way. Or maybe she's one of the aliens that Beth hypothetically muses about, the ones who pick up the tapes and learn about human civilization from them - you never know. I only think of those aliens at all because of the last scene of Alex's story - which, in its own way, involved hypothetical aliens - where some tape mysteriously falls from the sky. So all of these crazy things happen to all four people, but somehow it all works out. Just like life is wont to do. And as Beth and Richard's wife finally meet at the now-excavated phone booth, the connection that was once that voice on the phone now reincarnates as this new found link between these two women. The voice's legacy lingers on in the hope that these characters can learn to reach out and, in time, lean on one another for support. I get the feeling that these women had never bothered to risk making such a connection before. In this way, the movie leaves us with a sense of subtle, gentle, fantastic hope. The last line says it all: "you can talk to me."
User Review - 8/10 by Haakon NI enjoyed this--the characters are all hanging by a thread, and the result is, strangely enough, one of the more contemplative movies in recent memory. The sum of the parts is simple enough and the message is engagingly told--it will all be OK even if we can't see how. It is reassuring even as it is unsettling. Really very cool.
User Review - 6/10 by Derek DFour interconnected stories all revolving around a phone booth out in the middle of the desert. A mysterious voice offers advice to these people who are all at the end of their ropes somehow. Not a waste of time, but not worth recommending to others, either.
User Review - 6/10 by Samuel BAn interesting movie about 4 different people living in Las Vegas who all go to a mysterious phone-booth to receive therapeutic talks and advice from a British-sounding stranger. Was a laugh to see Steve Guttenberg in this one, haven't seen him in anything since Police Academy and Short Circuit :) This one is a little odd, but people are odd so it all fits together right?
User Review - 6/10 by Scott J[/Soapbox] Ugh, Yes, I get it...Men are all aggressive, psychotic, rich, sleazy, playboy drunkards....while women are all supportive, hard-working, manipulated, ignored, oppressed victims of society. Apparently gender stereotyping is fine as long as it's one-sided.[/end Soapbox] That said, aside from the rather blatant misandry, this actually isn't that bad of a film. Although it sometimes begins to feel as if it's playing out like a bad MTV reality TV show, it has its bright moments. I admit the plot flows rather smoothly, and you're able to immerse yourself into the emotions that each of the 4 main characters are going through. That said, I can't in good conscience bring myself to give this film more than 3 stars.
User Review - 6/10 by Will SOk flick, kinda dull. It's a 4 part story, reminds me a bit of night gallery. It just didn't do anything for me, but it's not a bad movie.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MExperiment in mixing collectivist production ideals and experienced Hollywood talent is a noble one, though in this case, it's wrought just a moderately interesting omnibus of linked stories about Las Vegas residents at life's crossroads.
User Review - 6/10 by Private URandomly watched this via Netflix online viewing... pretty good for a movie we knew absolutely nothing about! More up my boyfriend's alley than mine, although I was interested to learn it was based on a true story! The phone booth was real!
User Review - 4/10 by Erin BI love Lee Wilkof... but wow... this has to be the slowest movie in creation. I left it on randomly at work today... By the time the action picked up in the third skit I was too bored to care.
