Some Voices is a 2000 British drama film directed by Simon Cellan Jones and adapted for the screen by Joe Penhall, from his own stage play (originally a production for the Royal Court Theatre, London).

Pete works long hours as a chef in a café (a traditional "greasy spoon" during the day and a trendy eatery in the evening) he inherited from his father, and now has the challenge of not only managing the cafe, but looking out for Ray and monitoring his medication.

He soon falls for Laura (Kelly Macdonald), a Glaswegian girl in the midst of breaking up with her abusive boyfriend (Peter McDonald).

[10] Time Out wrote "Morrissey skillfully registers abiding filial love tested by simmering exasperation; MacDonald's adept at lippy on top, vulnerable underneath; and Craig's vibrant yet haunted expressiveness tells us everything needful about this doomed sweetheart".

There is no blaming, no mental illness as metaphor, no psychiatry bashing, and – although a romance lies at its core – there is none of the usual message that 'love is better than tablets'".

[14] Byrne further stated that in Some Voices, "the schizophrenic is not demonised as a potential criminal or as a care-in-the-community basket-case", and "Ray's essential humanity is transcribed with sympathy and warmth, and so is the patience and perseverance of Pete, who must shoulder most of the burden of schizophrenia's terrible mystery".
