Director : Mark Herman
Producer : Elizabeth Karlsen
Screenwriter : Mark Herman
Starring : Brenda Blethyn, Jane Horrocks, Ewan McGregor, Philip Jackson, Annette Badland, Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent
Surprisingly powerful despite its cute premise, Horrocks shines as a timid
young woman (known as Little Voice) who has the uncanny ability to unerringly
reproduce the voice of dozens of great female vocalists (eg. Garland, Bassey,
even Marilyn Monroe). Smarmy promoter Caine puts her onstage, where her
neurosis only worsens, but not before a few sparkling hours before the crowds.
Horrocks deserves far more praise than she got for this role, considering she
performed all the phenomenal music for the picture. Caine is great as well,
ditto Blethyn as LV's self-centered mother.
