SYNOPSIS (via Miramax): A hopeless introvert, Little Voice, can only manage to express herself by singing along to records in her room, in the timeless voices of Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe and others. Once her eccentric mother's new boyfriend, a sleazy talent scout, overhears Little Voice's incredible crooning, he'll do anything to drag the recluse into the spotlight and make her a star.

BLURBS:
"Herman has overcome the obstacles of adapting from stage to screen and fashioned an almost perfect blend of biting wit, heart-warming comedy and superb acting." - Caroline Westbrook, Empire Magazine

"The various voices in Little Voice are so rich, so entertaining and so endearingly outrageous that it barely matters that half the time we have no idea what they're going on about." - Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

"'Little Voice' is unthinkable without the special and unexpected talent of its star. She is Jane Horrocks, and nothing I’ve seen her do prepared me in any way for the revelation that she is a singer. She is amazing. Absolutely fabulous." - Roger Ebert
