Little Voice

Comedy. Drama
A magical musical comedy which centers on the reticent and reclusive, Laura Hoff, who lives with her mother in a small English seaside town. Her father has died, leaving her no-one to listen to classic songs with, and a mother who is refinding her sexuality with a sleazy London talent agent.

United States | The Washington Post | "The trick of this movie is that it's so changeable: You think you've got it nailed and it slithers away to become some other new, fabulous thing" | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "Many of the elements in this story about a woman who's nearly eclipsed by her overbearing mother are all too familiar, yet the combination is utterly charming" | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Horrocks's phenomenal mimicry of musical grande dames...makes a splendid centerpiece for the otherwise more ordinary film" | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "As mean-spirited toward its working-class characters, especially its women, as it is profoundly unfunny." | NEG |
United States | Variety | "A small picture with a big heart" | POS |
United States | Rolling Stone | "Taking it's framework from classic fairly-tale characters like Cinderella, the British story of Little Voice is one of compassion, humor and music" | POS |
