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.

A fascinating look into the realm of voice over performance.

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

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.
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

There's a difference between paying your dues and self-abasement, but you wouldn't know it from this overstuffed and joyless film.
August 23, 2013
An indie comedy as surprisingly tender and wise as it is deftly wise-cracking.
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.

For all its laughs, In A World... isn't short on messages or touching moments.
March 31, 2014
The entire cast operates at the top of their game. Yet it's Bell who is undeniably the main attraction.

Can't wait to see what Lake Bell the filmmaker does next.

Very funny semi-satirical look at the bitchy, male-dominated world of movie trailer voice over people.
