// FILM  REVIEWS //

“In a World…” contemplates both the power of the male voice and the empowering of its female counterpart. Writer-director-star Lake Bell uses the world of voiceover to slyly explore how society has shaped our ears to accept stereotypical gender roles. She accomplishes this not by preaching, but by observing the personal relationships she has created for her actors. This is not just the story of a daughter challenging her father on the voiceover turf that made him a legend, it’s also about how the use of conversation and voice craft our identities. The speaker has the floor, and whether you listen has a lot to do with what you are conditioned to hear.

Closer to the snarky satire of Thank You for Smoking than the back-slapping of Soapdish, this snappy treat 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.
