3/4
The various voices in Little Voice are so rich, so entertaining and so endearingly outrageous that it barely matters that half the time we have no idea what they're going on about. Go to Full Review Derek Elley Variety 06/19/2008
A small picture with a big heart. Go to Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out 02/09/2006
A lively if finally rather cruel comic fantasy. Go to Full Review Andrew Curry Miami Herald 01/05/2023
3/4
Little Voice, a touching comedy that combines slapstick showmanship and intelligent acting with an amazing musical performance, engages with the quirky appeal of The Full Monty. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 09/23/2009
B-
Despite many good scenes of whimsy, humor, and pathos, not to mantion great mimicry of Garland, Dietrich, and others, the movie is trying to do too much and the last reel is weak, contrived and burdened with a fake romance and upbeat ending.

Little Voice is based on Jim Cartwright's play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, which premiered in 1992 at the National Theatre in London. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Geke g @RT40239519 08/05/2024 Give then big ass like. Perfect See more Munkhchimeg T @RT64187897 08/05/2024 Genuinely liked the story. Very adorable to see the growth of their own way. See more Susan G @RT50844103 03/20/2024 A good movie with some thought provoking messages. Worth a quiet evening of good entertainment with a great actor. A bit slow, and unbelievable at times, but otherwise worth the viewing. See more Alec B @Alec97 01/10/2024 Horrocks and Blethyn are phenomenal (obviously) and they almost make this work but the movie ultimately has too many unearned moments (i.e. Caine's breakdown scene). See more 12/05/2023 Not one of the finest British comedies from 30 years ago. Almost has a glum attitude about it. Harrock is an appealing lead no doubt. Sad to say it leads to a bummer of a conclusion. See more colin m @RT35044827 01/23/2023 Weak British comedy movie. See more Read all reviews
