Little Voice (1998)

We saw Little Voice (1998) last night. Please heed my warning, do not see this movie.

It combines these two genres:
  1. Quirky British Natives (it's made by the same bloke who gave us "Brassed Off")
  2. Plays converted into Movies.
Because its British, the dialogue is incomprehensible; and because it was a play:
  1. Everyone is an exaggerated caricature,
  2. The characters do horrible, inexplicable things to each other,
  3. The movie has A MESSAGE
  4. and what could have been a fun movie with a happy ending is a tragic play with catastrophic results.

You have been warned. If you want to see quirky British caricatures behaving comedically with a happy ending, rent "Wallace & Gromit."
