Little Voice (1998)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col 97m
Director: Mark Herman
Cast: Jane Horrocks, Brenda Blethyn, Michael Caine, Ewan McGregor, Jim Broadbent
Synopsis:
A teenage girl lives in Scarborough with her termagant mother and her dead father's old records, until one day a theatrical agent discovers her uncanny talent for mimicking the singing stars of the past.
Review:
Dismayingly unkind to mothers and fat people, the film precludes any contemplation of its hidden agenda, if such they are, while you are watching it because of its sheer energy and brute force. The musical numbers, when they come, are galvanizing and a supreme achievement for Horrocks.
