[general information] [review and critical uptake]
Bibliographical Information - The Year My Voice Broke
This page contains some of the locations, on the web and in journals, of information about the film, reviews and interviews. There are also the primary cast and crew members' filmographies.
Research Notes
The internet, in general, proved to be an unreasonably frustrating and surprisingly unreliable source of information. I managed to track down precious few reviews and even less interviews about this film. I presume that the film's age, nationality and less-than-blockbuster status have something to do with this disappointing internet presence. Even information about the director proved somewhat difficult to track down. The Internet Movie Database however, provided a (comparatively) excellent amount of quite diverse information about the film, the cast and the crew, with some good links to similair projects.
