This is a movie that took me completely by surprise. It looked kinda silly and dumb but what the heck it had Ryan Reynolds in it so I gave it a watch on Netflix and I was completely blown away. Not only does Reynolds put on an amazing and at times heartbreaking performance, but he's also frickin hilarious. Most dark comedies only get one of the parts right, dark or comedy. But "The Voices" felt that it had managed to blend the two perfectly. And it knew when it was appropriate to be funny and when it needed to take itself seriously. The dialogue is both hilariously and realisitically awkward and as someone who has mental health issues (although not to the extent of Reynolds' character) I can honestly say that this movie represented the struggles of therapy, taking your medicine, and balancing the voices in your head perfectly. I will say that this movie is not for everyone, you're either going to go "meh" or absolutely love it.

A really well-made dark comedy, this film takes a candid look at mental illness. It's scary how real it is sometimes, in its mundane details and in its stark insights .It gets into some pretty dark stuff, but never loses its easy-breezy tone. Ryan Reynolds is truly a fine actor, his performance is always just right. It's even more impressive once you know he did the voices for the animals as well.

Marjane Satrapi's best work besides "Persepolis" certainly she is such a diverse film maker and one of the best authors of her time perfect cast i love Anna Kendrick and Ryan Reynolds as lead the way he played his character Jerry was just insane i love it so freaky and creepy so buckle up your seat belts get ready for a crazy ride if you like visuals that play with your reality and if you like hoarding, pill poppers, delusions, auditory hallucinations, murder and love Ana Kendrick then you must watch this movie at least 9 times

How have reviewers rated this 1,2, or 3 stars? OMG, The Voices is 10's across the board, all day long. It is a movie about a serial-killer, but it is not dark or brooding for the most part, it is colourful and cheery, it is full of pink and fluffiness, it has a "talking cat, dog, goldfish, and another, it is full of happiness and light, so much so that you could think that I was talking about a film of a man finishing off his breakfast, but no, we are not talking about a cereal-killer here! There are many ways this film stands out from the rest, from its story to its direction, to its, well, everything before it. The performances of Reynolds, Arterton and Kendrick are all fantastic, but the film is made possible by the furry ones, and Reynolds' ability to diversify his voice, and make it believable. THIS IS A 10/10 FILM, no question, watch it, it will be the first movie about a serial-killer to leave you feeling all warm and fluffy inside!
