Critics Consensus

Little Voice brings its award-winning source material to the screen in style, elevated by a commanding lead performance from Jane Horrocks.

Terry Lawson

Detroit Free Press

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.

Rated: 3/4

A small picture with a big heart.

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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Rated: B-

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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).

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
