Little Voice Reviews

I remember it rather well, when this movie was released, there was quite some buzz about it. On top of that, I really liked 'Brassed Off' , Mark Herman's previous directing effort, so I was quite eager to see his following project. This time again, Herman was working with the always interesting Ewan McGregor but, this time, the lead was actually played by Jane Horrocks, an actress I had never seen before. Eventually, even though the critics were completely enthusiast, to be honest, I thought it was a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. I don't know, in my opinion, even though the story was entertaining, it was in fact fairly generic and predictable. On top of that, even though everyone thought that Jane Horrocks was completely amazing, personally, I think she had indeed a very strong voice but her character was not really interesting and, in fact, she was pretty much upstaged by the rest of the stellar cast (Brenda Blethyn, Ewan McGregor, Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent). To conclude, even though I think it is slightly overrated, it is still a pretty good flick though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
