Little Voice [DVD] [1999] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

'Little Voice' is a British film that will always make me smile no matter how many times I see it. As well as being touching and hilarious in equal measure, it is almost worth seeing purely for the talented Jane Horrocks who gives a stunning performance.Filmed in the lovely seaside town Scarborough, Horrocks plays LV (Little Voice), a painfully shy girl with an amazing singing voice, she can impersonate stars such as Judy Garland and Marliyn Monroe quite brilliantly. Her loud, brash and uncaring mother (brilliantly played by Brenda Blethyn who received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actress) constantly berates her daughter. The mother's new boyfriend (played by Michael Caine) is a sleazy talent scout, he overhears LV's incredible voice and from then on, will stop at nothing to make her star, as long as he sees the full credit of this new 'discovery' going to him. With stars such as Ewan McGregor and Jim Broadbent also involved, you can expect some more magical performances in a very impressive cast list. All of the characters are likeable and very different people, and as a result, it is very easy to identify with all of them.For me, Jane Horrocks is the real star of this movie, which has a wonderful script and is very funny. If you are searching for a film that will both make you laugh and also impress you, you can't go wrong with 'Little Voice'. It's just cracking entertainment!

My daughter recommended this DVD to me about 10 years ago. I was hoping it would be on either Prime or Netflix but you had to pay to view. So I decided to buy my own copy. I am pleased that I did as now I will be able to re-watch any time I want. It was a feel good film, Michael Cain played a good part as did all the actors. Yes I would recommend this film. It's an oldy but so am I

I watch this over and over again... Michael Caine is great, Brenda Blethyn so funnily superb, Jim Broadbent as Mr. Boo is fantastic and the superb talents of Jane Horrocks who mimics almost every singer ever to have graced a stage makes this a great film.Based on the play 'The rise and fall of little voice' Jane Horrocks plays the part of LV (Little voice) a shy young lady who has a great talent and uses shows that talent when she imagines her late father is watching her. Michael Caine plays the part of a talent scout who sets out to take advantage of LV's talent to make loads of cash - Blethyn is LV's Mother who is dating Caine and Mr.Boo's is a local club that will stage LV's 'big night debut'.A great film.

Absolutely hilarious but also a bit sad. I love this film.

Since I've always loved this film I'm now delighted to have my very own copy of it. Apart from anything else it's British film making at its best. It's also very much about what it mmeans to be English. One of the most inspiring facts about it is that, although it's certainly comedy, there's a powerful thread running through it that is so true to life with believable characters - people we've all come across at sometime in our lives. Even Little Voice herself will remind us of shy people we may have met at one time or another. It's so easy to identify with all the characters and love them all, warts and all, just as they are. What more can one say? Not only is this five stars all the way, it sends up a myriad of bright stars to burst out all around it.

I love this film. The quality of the performances by the actors made it so believable. A story of relationship struggles, overcoming the obstacles associated with them and also subscribing to the emotions of the struggles. my favourite is the part of Michael Caine, a big named actor playing the role of a small time business manager trying to look like a big time manager.

I have seen this film a long time ago. But I was absolutely disgusted with the strong foul language throughout this film and i thought it was unnecessary. Great actors fabulous singing. Disappointed

Brilliant story with great performances by Sandra Horrocks (LV), Michael Caine (agent Ray) and Jim Broadbent (impresario Mr Boo), amongst others. Loved every minute of it.

This has been one of my favorite movies for years...back to VHS times. Brenda Blethyn is superb as the loud and obnoxious mother. Michael Caine is perfect as the slimy agent and Jane Horrocks is superb as L.V. She does all of her own singing and the movie is based on a play written specifically for her. She is a wonder to listen to. The entire cast is pitch perfect. This is a small picture with a very big voice! Highly recommend.

Il dvd è arrivato in tempo e in perfette condizioni. Il film è davvero carino! È la storia di Little Voice una ragazza molto timida che non esce mai di casa, ma che coltiva la passione della musica e del canto nel ricordo del padre. Nonostante la madre non creda in lei e non perda occasione per farle notare quanto sia "strana" il suo talento viene comunque notato e c'è anche qualcuno che riesce a superare la barriera della sua timidezza e interessarsi a lei...

映画館で観たときと何も変わらない素晴らしさでしす。時も流れ、音も流れるが、感動は逗まる。

Michael Cane en una buena actuacion y la interprete juvenil buena actuacion y buena voz en sus interpretaciones, si la recomiendo
