Review of In a World... (2013) by Paul D — 01 Oct 2014
I believe that the main disconnect between viewers and critics of this film, was that critics realized that Lake Bell writing, directing, and starring in a film that had to do with female empowerment via inclusion was a very big deal.
Females playing the lead role, and creating stories that are actually seen, is a very rare occurrence that not a lot of people talk about. The story is interesting, since it deals with the real world issue of voice overs being dominated mostly by men.
The characters are interesting as they interact, but not as standalones. The plot doesn't really flourish past its initial concept, though it does come to a satisfying end. The struggle between our lead character and her voice-over pro of a father is pretty tense, and the ending shows that struggle with intelligent discourse.
While it's sad that the film didn't move past basic romantic comedy to address its premise, it was a sweet satisfying little comedy with equally amusing actors.
