Little Voice : 3 of 5

I don't remember how this DVD got on my Netflix queue - maybe I clicked it since it has Ewan McGregor in it, after I was impressed with his Moulin Rouge performance. Anyway, Little Voice is about a shy girl who spends all of her time listening to her deceased father's records, so she can duplicate the singing styles of Judy Garland, Marylin Monroe, and many others (the actress actually does all of the singing, and it's truly amazing!). Ewan is a geeky telephone repairman who also trains homing pigeons, so these two incredibly shy folks are destined to find each other. Parts of the movie are pretty sad, since Little Voice (her nickname) is treated terribly by her mother and the folks who want to exploit her talent, but thankfully she triumphs over her shyness in the end. A nice little film with a good story - it was an uplifting way to spend an evening.
