Good concept, poorly executed.
The acting in this movie is really good.
In a world, an independent bold movie that effectively challenges the status quo of gender in our society. It is thought provoking and gives the audience a fresh perspective which can be an eye opener for some. The lead actress, Lake Bell, plays as Carol in the movie. Carol faces many challenges as she climbs her way to be the first woman to utter the famous words "In a world." Throughout those challenges, Carol never ceased to fight the good fight. The movie elegantly proves the point that our society continues to be male predominant and puts woman as second class. Carol, through her feminist views challenges that status quo and teaches us that not only woman can support feminism but also men can have a role as portrayed by her boyfriend actor Demetri Martin playing Louis.
I loved this movie. It felt like Cary Grant and Doris Day in the new millennium. Ms. Bell directs and leads, creating a movie of wonderful, kind energy we may all find too little of in today's world. Lessons taught sweetly with just enough pain. People being people, weird and imperfect but ultimately adorable.Watch it with friends or family, lovers or children, and you'll have a great time.So that's it. Nothingmore to say. IMDb's requirement of 10 lines is silly. It forces bad writing and trite thought.Ya know?
Slacker girl competing in the Hollywood movie-trailer voice-over business finds herself up for the plum role against her father's protégé.Great idea, bogged down by chatty Jewish family melodrama. The intro credits are so plain, when they should have shown the breadth of entertainment and competition that goes with this kind of art.Beautifully shot, nice performances - but no laughs. Just a very conservative screenplay that failed to use the idea and try different angles - the only character to create tension was the father, and he ended up sappy. Geena Davis popped up on a sour note, and the thing is ... she was right: the male voices were much better than the heroine's. But the story didn't really reflect on this fact.The soundtrack? Nothing challenging or dramatic, and the songs were '80s cheese.Overall, too cosy a romantic comedy.
The pleasures afforded by IN A WORLD are basic, but they are not insignificant. They are those of a good idea skillfully realized, and of an unfamiliar world revealed through exceptionally smart storytelling. That world is the Hollywood voice-over industry, and the idea was to make a movie about it from the perspective of its more marginalized voices, the women's.The sonorous male tones of the preview announcer, the TV commercial, the political advertisement are easy to conjure in our memory. It is harder, although we feel that we have heard them, to remember the women selling the product or creating the dread that makes us buy tickets to a thriller. There is the woman's voice on the telephone telling us what buttons to press, or from the GPS directing us to turn right, but that is the most that comes readily to mind...
