Funny as it may seem, "Little voice" is rather sad in its background. The people in it are struggling and trying to find a way out of their lives, by finding a man or finding a talent. LV, is the skinny little girl with the BIG singing voice with a mother that makes Morticia Adams look like a faerie. LV is soon discovered by pathetic looking Ray Say, wonderfully played by Michael Caine, who instantly falls for her singing voice amazingly similar to the voices of Judy Garland, Shirley Basset and Marilyn Monroe. This is the movie's best moments, when LV sings her little heart out and it's in fact Jane Horrock who's singing all her own acts. Not only is she a outstanding singer but also a very talented actress. Ewan McGregor shows up in a role, which he didn't too much with, but this is a movie that belongs to Horrocks, Caine and Brenda Blethyn as LV's dominant and in your face mother. A strong cast with a really entertaining second half makes this movie a real gem.
