When I first started watching this I could not figure out why Michael Caine won the Golden Globe as Best Actor -- but by the end of this great British film you will know why.
Brenda Blethyn, Mr. Caine, Ewan McGregor and especially June Horrocks turn in stellar performances in this adapted-from-the-play (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice) film.
June Horrocks is totally astounding as Little Voice -- especially if the only thing you have seen her in is the British Television programme "Absolutely Fabulous."
She does all of her own singing in this film and does a great job of it. She is absolutely astounding.
While it is difficult to say much of anything about this film without giving away the story, suffice it to say it is one of the finest films I have ever seen.
I am very glad it was produced in Britain and not the United States. The producers here would have tried to make it a MOVIE and it is not -- it is a quiet piece of art.
Please, see this film.
