Little Voice is the 1998 Miramax film in which Jane Horrocks plays a shut-in who can only speak through the voices of other singers.
LV lives inside her late father's record collection, doing Garland, Dietrich and Bassey with unsettling accuracy. A small time agent hears her and starts making plans with her mother.
Why it works
Horrocks sings every note herself, which is what reviewers lead with two decades on. Mark Herman adapted the film from the stage role she originated.
Content notes
It is billed as a comedy and it is often very funny, but the mother and daughter material turns genuinely bleak. Viewers split on whether the ending is uplifting or bruising.
Synopsis
Jane Horrocks re-creates her acclaimed stage role in this unusual musical-dramedy as LV, a withdrawn young woman who spends her days listening to her late father's records and singing in uncanny impersonations of Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Shirley Bassey, and others. After hearing her, a small-time agent (Michael Caine) plots with LV's mother (Brenda Blethyn) to cash in on her talents. With Ewan McGregor, Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent.
