- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Many of the elements in this story about a woman who's nearly eclipsed by her overbearing mother are all too familiar, yet the combination is utterly charming"
-
"As mean-spirited toward its working-class characters, especially its women, as it is profoundly unfunny."
-
"A small picture with a big heart"
-
"Taking it's framework from classic fairly-tale characters like Cinderella, the British story of Little Voice is one of compassion, humor and music"
