Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Jean Oppenheimer

This terrific movie manages to invest kitchen-sink realism with the soul of a fairy tale. Read full review

James Berardinelli

By offering opportunities to laugh, cry, and cheer, Little Voice satisfies in a big way. Read full review

Elvis Mitchell

Horrocks's phenomenal mimicry of musical grande dames...makes a splendid centerpiece for the otherwise more ordinary film built around it. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Little Voice is unthinkable without the special and unexpected talent of its star. Read full review

Susan Wloszczyna

Engagingly offbeat. [4 December 1998, Life, p.13E]
