Little Voice (6/12) Movie CLIP - LV Takes the Stage (1998) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
LV (Jane Horrocks), shy at first, gets inspiration from her dad's memory to perform her first song full-out.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on Jim Cartright's play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, this screen adaptation directed by Mark Herman is an underdog film about an underdog girl named Little Voice (or LV for short). LV (Jane Horrocks from Mike Leigh's Life is Sweet who does all her own singing) is a shy, mousy woman living with her mom Mari (Secrets and Lies' Brenda Blethyn). Little Voice doesn't leave her house. Instead she sings along to her record collection of Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe. Her mother Mari, however, is an outspoken woman who is convinced her sex appeal (which is little) will land her a man, especially when she's drunk. One night while bar-hopping, Mari meets the suave yet sleazy talent agent Ray Say (Michael Caine), whom she takes home for a nightcap. There Ray hears the beautiful Little Voice singing a perfect rendition of Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. He's stunned by its beauty and thinks he can make her a star. From there the story heads in complicated, romantic, and sweet-hearted directions that should not be given away. Also starring in this small independent film is Ewan McGregor.

I worked on the entire movie. I controlled the stage spot light on all the stage stuff. I was electrical labourer on the movie . Great times and all fantastic cast and crew.

[RoCkbunny]

This movie was an inspiration to me as a child. I loved it so much.

[jasontodd]

Jane Horrocks is amazing and superb cast!

[sadieteawalsh]

How is Jane Horrocks not a more recognizable actress? She’s such a gifted performer, she deserved better!

[kaydub]

I saw this quite a long time ago & don't remember much about the movie, but remember being SO blown away by this woman & her vocal talents.

[janelovell]

The movie is NOT depressing! It's funny as hell and brilliantly acted!

[tayaaam]

[vivandav]

[goddambitch]

[andrewguest]

Brilliant film Jane horrocks is awesome

[lynnemills]

A wonderful movie that is little known. I happened to catch it on BBC years ago. The music is wonderfully done if you are a fan of old time musicals. Give it a whirl.

[franklinajohnson]

Jane Horrocks was robbed of an Oscar nomination

[edfurnisstube]

One of my favourite movie scenes - gives me a pick me up whenever I am feeling low

[jotun]

Such a sweet, sometimes melancholy, film.

[SunshineClementine]

This film is just so meaning to me, and it should be to anyone else afflicted by perpetrators.

[xinthrau]

i just want ONE really good singing voice...dang her lol i think they passed mine out to her

[ers]

The movie is depressing. Most of the characters were self-absorbed and astonishingly vicious to each other. BUT the musical performances by Jane Horrocks are absolutely brilliant.

[wiltner]

damn ads you can't skip. There taking over youtube!

[i.m.]

Brenda Blethyn is great in Little Voice (and Saving Grace). Michael Caine got the award.
I’m wondering if Dame Shirley liked it?

[Juanitoization]

Love this movie, but the audio isn't synced in this clip. >_<
