Rating: Summary: It stealthstunned me -- I certainly didn't expect it! Review: When this movie came out on video - I hadn't heard of it prior - I rented it, why I don't know. I tend to avoid British 'humor', and find the accents often inpenetrable. I was overwhelmed by this young lady's talents [Horrocks] and immediately started haunting the store's "used videos for sale cheap" bin. Now that I own a copy, I've rewatched it and gained increased admiration for the other actors - Caine, Blethyn, and the rest. My unabashed admiration of Horrocks' performance continues and I'm afraid I will be proselytizing this underappreciated actress and film to my friends and whoever will listen. I guess you could say I liked it.
Rating: Summary: Stunning! Review: Filmed in Scarborough, Yorkshire, by a director (Mark Herman) who has his finger on the pulse of real Yorkshire life (witness "Brassed Off"). This film should have cleaned up at the Oscars. Michael Caine at his sensational best!
Rating: Summary: A Disappointing Odd Movie. Review: This wasn't a completely bad film, but it wasn't great either. Was at times quite hard to understand LV's mother for one. Just before or after the first hour had transpired, I was still a bit confused about what was going on. The film's plot was okay, but I just didn't enjoy this movie that much. Little Voice was a bit too flat and didn't achieve much.
Rating: Summary: I actually laughed until I couldn't breathe! Review: Got to the cinema after the film we wanted to see had started so agreed to watch whatever started next... Oh NO! it was little voice... the trailers had looked sooo boring! Oh well off we went... the movie was such an excellent true to life comedy.. the characters were spot on I laughed but felt guilty ...shouldn't I have been crying? Brenda is stunning - and there are plenty of real life of mothers that treat their daughters just like she does, like a bit of sellotape that you can't get rid of - that's the sad bitIf you thought the trailers sucked - see the movie and change your mind big time! I;ll be buying this one as soon as it hits the UK shelves... I've been waiting since the moment I left the cinema
Rating: Summary: splendid Review: I just want to sayt that this movie was vaztly entertaining. I really loved it and could watch it again and again. Wonderful preormances, especially Jane Horrocks. She has unbelievabe talent
Rating: Summary: Little Voice is a BIG surprise! Review: I wasn't expecting great things when I first sat down to watch "Little Voice". My God, was I blown away. What a movie! What a cast! And Jane Horrocks (Bubble from "Absolutely Fabulous") what a voice! A shy, young introvert (Horrocks) locks herself away in her room where she mimicks Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe and Shirley Bassey in an attempt to escape her over-bearing, loud, common mother (played to the hilt by the brilliant Blethyn). Enter a sleazy, slimy talent agent (Caine) who discovers her and tries to cash in on Little Voice's amazing talent. I won't say too much more except you MUST buy this movie to add to your DVD library! If only to hear Horrocks' voice. Yes, she actually sang all the numbers herself in this movie....AMAZING! Why didn't this movie win an Academy Award for something? Who votes in the winners? Are they blind as well as deaf? What's wrong with Hollywood today?
Rating: Summary: Jane Horrocks at her very best Review: A classic. This loses nothing in the translation from the stage play. Jane Horrocks at her best and thoroughly recommended
Rating: Summary: a welcome surprise Review: Jane Horrocks is a true phenomenon! Her uncanny voice abilities are found less than 1 out of 100 million times. Not only can she mimic great singers like a parrot, but she has the range and sonority of character to flesh out the songs she delivers in perfect fashion.
Rating: Summary: A Must-See Classic Film! Review: I have seen this film recently, and I couldn't help but watch it again and again. I truly feel that this movie is one of the best films that I have ever seen. I think that the characters are deep and complex and the story is extremelty captivating. The musical scene is superb, and I couldn't help but rewind and watch it again.
Rating: Summary: Unusual,Great Performances by the cast Review: I cant beleive that this movie never made it to more theatres. I had to drive 40 miles to see it when there are dozens of theatres nearby. The cast did a super job and the singing of Jane Horrocks was sensational. Wake up people. This deserved many OSCARS.
