In a World... (R for profanity and sexual references) Lake Bell wrote, directed and stars in this dysfunctional family comedy as an aspiring
voiceover artist attempting to follow in the footsteps of her movie trailer legend father (Fred Melamed), despite the fact that the field is dominated by stentorian - throated males.
While a meditative
voiceover, nestled comfortably between fact and potential fiction, describes the
artist's troubled childhood («I survived her
attempt to abort me three times»), the mirrors allow him to gain footing on a world, scarred by a personal history of migration.
