In A World…

Wednesday 28 August at 7:30 pm

Lake Bell│USA│2013│93 mins│R16 sexual references & offensive language

“This snappy satire tickles up belly laughs from the golden larynx of the entertainment industry, as it delves into the strangely competitive world of the voiceover artist. Writer, director and rising star Lake Bell plays voice-coach and wannabe VO star Carol, struggling to escape from the jowly shadow of her father, a pitch-perfect portrait of pomposity from the mighty Fred Melamed… Working with insider knowledge, but without descending to smug self-referentiality, Bell takes swipes at gender inequality, familial dysfunction and professional back-stabbing with an air of unease that is both pointed and entertaining. There’s screwball romance buried in there too, but crucially it takes a backseat to the story of a woman making it in a man’s world, with Lake seeing little need to drench the most brusque moments of cynicism in schmaltz. A cameo from Geena Davis is particularly tart, and all the better for it.” – The Guardian
