For all its laughs, In A World... isn't short on messages or touching moments.

Very funny semi-satirical look at the bitchy, male-dominated world of movie trailer voice over people.
August 29, 2013
A clever, likable comedy that sends up sexism, satirizes Hollywood, examines family ties and features a surprisingly tender romance at its core

The entire cast operates at the top of their game. Yet it's Bell who is undeniably the main attraction.

In a World... is far from perfect and doesn't quite have the laser-focus of a more seasoned writer and director, but even the most awkward and fumbling moments of the film are a joy to watch and experience.

Writer-director Lake Bell is also the star of this quick-witted beguiling comedy of female identity, family ties and an unseen but fiercely competitive aspect of the film business.

There's a difference between paying your dues and self-abasement, but you wouldn't know it from this overstuffed and joyless film.

A fascinating look into the realm of voice over performance.
August 23, 2013
An indie comedy as surprisingly tender and wise as it is deftly wise-cracking.

Like her character, Bell has made herself a contender in a male-dominated industry. And a damn funny one at that.

Can't wait to see what Lake Bell the filmmaker does next.
August 30, 2013
It's an exhilarating comic rush called In a World... and in it Lake Bell spins inspired lunacy around the subject of, among other things like family dysfunction, sexual healing and female empowerment, voiceovers.
