The movie adaptation suffers the symptoms of so many stage-to-screen transplants: What seemed thrillingly big and bold in live performance comes across shrunken and hemmed in when "opened up" to fill a feature film.

Little Voice is unthinkable without the special and unexpected talent of its star.
Engagingly offbeat. [4 December 1998, Life, p.13E]
A slightly more light-hearted version of the "Shine" story. [4 December 1998, Friday, p.A]
Horrocks's phenomenal mimicry of musical grande dames...makes a splendid centerpiece for the otherwise more ordinary film built around it.
British actress Jane Horrocks plays Little Voice, and it is a transfixing, tour de force performance.
A small picture with a big heart.
By offering opportunities to laugh, cry, and cheer, Little Voice satisfies in a big way.
