But reading these comments reminds me how awesome Little Voice was! (I saw it in the theater when it first came out because I love Jane Horrocks.) And also, yeah, Brenda Blethyn was just one of the many amazing things about Pride and Prejudice.<br /><br />Now, to get back to Secrets and Lies.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-13099507230365584692013-06-17T12:55:07.605-05:002013-06-17T12:55:07.605-05:00I'm fascinated to see more from Blethyn.

This showed up on IMDB's year end Top 250 one year, so I had seen this back when VHS was still the way to go. I've forgotten some of it, but I do remember liking the scene where Cynthia finally recalls how the hell she could have a black daughter.<br /><br />By coincidence, around the same time I saw this I also saw Blethyn as one of the worst mothers ever put on film in the movie Little Voice. Toss in the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice and you get three very different takes on playing a mother from the same talented actress.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
