In a World... (2013)
6/10
Nice depiction of the industry

Lake Bell quite nicely wrote the story to incorporate the important aspects of the voice-over industry, which most people take quite for granted. There's the main focus of targeting the highest levels at the blockbuster movie trailer voice-overs. But there's also the lesser extent of commercials voice-overs and even vocal coaching. The main conflict that ultimately pits an overachiever father with his own denied protégé of a daughter nicely sums up the story. Yet I feel that the side conflict with Louis and the thing with Moe and Dani is rather unfinished that it only feels like it's there to eat up duration. The acting side is a standard overall. Lake Bell did quite alright in walking in the shoes of Carol. But I think that the rest of the characters are only doing enough to make it a connected story, offering nothing more. Though for me, Lake Bell should also receive extra credit for doing three jobs of acting in a lead role herself, directing the movie and also writing the screenplay.
