In many respects, "Little Voice is a very strange film. What an incredibly simplistic look at what is basically a mentally ill person. Still, Jane Horrocks does a fine job in imitating the voices of some of the great singers of the past! It's a fine performance deserving of a more cohesive script. The picture is a muddled mess in the last third. Brenda Blythen is waaaay over the top as LV's mother. No wonder her daughter is emotionally ill. Caine is very good as the seedy promoter. And, it's nice to see McGregor in a role not requiring him to use drugs or being out there in some fashion. Still worth the admission to see Horrocks do Garland, Monroe, Bassey, and especially interesting as Billie Holiday.
