David Duchovny Speaks ‘Louder Than Words’ and Its Inspiration

The indie film “Louder Than Words” tells the real-life story of how the rabies death of 13-year-old Maria Fareri spurred her family to build a state-of-the-art children’s hospital that allows parents to be part of the healing process.

The film stars David Duchovny and Hope Davis as Maria’s parents, John and Brenda Fareri, and Duchonvy spoke with ExtraTV.com about the experience.

Duchovny explained, “As a parent, that was the key to the whole story. I just related to that kind of devastation, and the reaction this family had that they didn’t just give up. That they moved outward to help others, which I thought was a beautiful story.”

Variety: Film Review: ‘Louder Than Words’

Hope Davis and David Duchovny give solid, moving performances as grieving parents in this inspirational heart-tugger.

An attempt to reckon honestly with a family tragedy and its complex emotional aftermath largely sustains viewer goodwill throughout “Louder Than Words,” the fictionalized true story of how a Westchester, N.Y., couple worked to establish a local children’s hospital in the name and memory of their young daughter, Maria Fareri, after her untimely death from rabies in 1995. Anchored by intelligently restrained performances from David Duchovny and especially Hope Davis as the grieving parents, this well-meaning and reasonably well-handled item retains an emotional sincerity despite its occasionally pat and overly sentimental stretches, ensuring that a good portion of its climactic uplift feels well earned. The pic opened theatrically Aug. 1, following a July 1 VOD/iTunes release that will likely account for most of its modest commercial returns.

Huffington Post: 15 Minutes With David Duchovny - July 31, 2014

It's a hot day in Los Angeles, and I'm running late. I'm rushing to LAX to catch a flight to the east coast and getting ready to interview Golden Globe-winning actor David Duchovny for his latest film Louder Than Words, the true and inspirational story of a married couple (played by Duchovny and the wonderful Hope Davis) who, following the tragic death of their youngest daughter, set out to open a children's hospital in her honor. Duchovny is as impressive in this role as a grieving father as he was playing FBI Special Agent Mulder on Fox's The X Files or beautifully damaged novelist Hank Moody on Showtime's Californication.

David Duchovny is a fantastic actor, but that's not why he scares me. I've been writing about fantastic actors for years. I'm scared of writing about David because he has a BA in English Literature from Princeton and a Master's in English Literature from Yale. He's a brilliant guy, and I'm intimidated by the thought of him reading this blog post and honing in on all my weak spots.

People: Behind the Real-Life Family Tragedy That Inspired David Duchovny’s New Movie

In his new movie Louder than Words, David Duchovny cries, grieves and, in the end, triumphs.

Behind his nuanced performance is the true story of a Connecticut family whose unimaginable loss is depicted in the film, which hits big screens nationwide Thursday.

Brenda and John Fareri's lives changed one night in 1995 when their daughter, 13-year-old Maria, complained of feeling achy, feverish and tired. There was talk of the flu. Their pediatrician told Brenda to keep an eye on her. But when her symptoms began to interfere with her schoolwork – Maria was a newly minted eighth-grader with straight As – Brenda, a nurse, whisked her daughter straight to the hospital. "She had really deteriorated," she tells PEOPLE of that night.
