Review
In a World . . . was written produced and directed by Lake Bell. Can you guess who stars in the movie
This modest comedy takes place in the miniworld of people who do voice overs. Apparently this world exists. And like all such worlds it has stars former stars people who want to be stars and will make it and people who want to be stars and won't make it.
This world also has alliances feuds betrayals burning hates and burning loves. It's the same as any other profession except that it's invisible to the rest of us. (When was the last time you knew the name of someone doing a voiceover)
Bell is a good director and a good actor. (And yes her voice is fabulous.) She keeps her excellent ensemble cast moving along. The story line starts with boy meets girl so you know how it will end but there are enough unexpected twists and turns to hold your interest. It will work well on the small screen. My adviceseek it out and see it. Just don't expect a movie that's so powerful that it will change your life forever.
