Abstract
The author examines the religious significance of a recent and moderately successful British film which, while heavily reviewed in the international press and on the world wide web, has not generally been perceived by critics and audiences to comprise an overtly religious vision. Although in its first hour the film conforms to the somewhat ephemeral and fantasy-oriented structure of traditional Hollywood-style escapism, Little Voice is open to a fertile religious reading. The film abandons traditional Hollywood devices and bears witness to the Christian theme of redemption.
