Storyline
An underachieving vocal coach is motivated by her father, the king of movie-trailer voice-overs, to pursue her aspirations of becoming a voiceover star. Amidst pride, sexism and family dysfunction, she sets out to change the voice of a generation.
A friend invited me to a Sundance USA event in San Francisco, where
they take 10 films from the festival and show them in different cities
around the US. I had no idea what the movie was even about, and
obviously no expectations.
I was completely blown away. 'In a World' was one of the funniest,
cleverly-written and flawlessly edited movies I've seen this year
(2012-present). From Demetri Martin, Rob Cordry and Lake Bell herself,
the acting was fantastic. I had seen Lake Bell in 'How to Make it in
America' and thought she was great, but I had no idea how unbelievably
talented she is (i.e. playing an accent- obsessed speech coach/aspiring
voice-over actress who does probably 10+ flawless accents throughout
the movie...a movie she wrote and directed as well. No big deal).
I'm not sure if this movie is getting distributed to a wider audience,
but I'm grateful my friend convinced me to go. If you have a chance to
catch this, it's a must-see.
