Here is a pitch-black psycho-horror-comedy to restore one’s faith in the “What the eff did I just watch?” genre. Read full review

Not only is The Voices uproariously funny throughout, but it’s actually far cleverer than one might expect. Read full review

The quirky film is simultaneously bizarre, humorous, disturbing and suspenseful. Read full review

The film’s combination of psychological drama — cue the childhood trauma — with blood-splattered limb-cutting, talking heads in the fridge and talking pets on the couch is a risky one that finally works because Perry and Satrapi find the right tonal mixture for the material. Read full review

Full-force performance form Ryan Reynolds but not as funny as it hopes it is. Read full review

In tapping Satrapi to interpret this project, the producers have done about as well as one could expect with such material. Still, a bit more consistency in style would have gone a long way. Read full review

This film is quite disturbing, nevertheless it’s so much fun to watch. Some interesting characters, and a dash of lunacy.
Ryan Reynolds pulled of a convincing deranged mentally ill character, and the Anna Kendrick – Gemma Arterton duo is also good even if their characters are a little bit clichés.

Ryan Reynolds is a terrific actor, and Jerry in “The Voices” might be his best performance yet. Wonderfully weird and psychologically twisted, “The Voices” is a mix between “Filth” and “Donnie Darko” with its own personality. A must-watch.

Impossibly, this flick is a comedy, dark comedy, thriller, gore-fest/slasher, psychological thriller, absurdist, romance (and finally, a musical) that sorta, more or less, works. With that mixed genre, the viewer is whipped hither & yon, never quite sure what to expect or what to make of the… Expand

The Voices is actually a rather interesting movie. The film provides a look into a mentally damaged psychopaths head in a funny and kind of touching way whilst not condoning his actions but helping you understand how they may think.
Ryan Reynolds is actually very enjoyable in this film and… Expand
