Synopsis

Based on Jim Cartright's play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, this screen adaptation directed by Mark Herman is an underdog film about an underdog girl named Little Voice (or LV for short). LV (Jane Horrocks from Mike Leigh's Life Is Sweet who does all her own singing) is a shy, mousy woman living with her mom Mari (Secrets and Lies' Brenda Blethyn). Little Voice doesn't leave her house. Instead she sings along to her record collection of Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe. Her mother Mari, however, is an outspoken woman who is convinced her sex appeal (which is little) will land her a man, especially when she's drunk. One night while bar-hopping, Mari meets the suave yet sleazy talent agent Ray Say (Michael Caine), whom she takes home for a nightcap. There Ray hears the beautiful Little Voice singing a perfect rendition of Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. He's stunned by its beauty and thinks he can make her a star. From there the story heads in complicated, romantic, and sweet-hearted directions that should not be given away. Also starring in this small independent film is Ewan McGregor. ~ Arthur Borman, All Movie Guide

Little Voice: AMG Review
Laura Abraham , AMG

Little Voice may not have a highly original screenplay, but the stellar, unpredictable performances of Jane Horrocks and Brenda Blethyn catapult this film right into the realm of superior movie viewing. Horrocks is better known for her role as Bubble on Absolutely Fabulous, and her bumbling, erratic persona on that series is little preparation for her moving and triumphant work as the shy, introverted title character. Brenda Blethyn's performance is full of fire and earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her efforts. Little Voice is a rich, rewarding work that could have easily veered off into many unsatisfying directions; luckily, director Mark Herman kept it on track. Herman directed this film directly on the heels of Brassing Off, another British film about musicians. ~ Laura Abraham, All Movie Guide
