thebc-86158 The Voices is an expertly crafted film with a powerhouse performance by Ryan Reynolds and a great balance between good and evil, depression and happiness, and comedy and thriller. I love when he takes the pills for the first time and sees things the way they really are even though he and the audience only saw the ideal picture keeping the gore to a minimum until we see what other people see. And how the happy moments for the character actually seem happy and the depressing moments are just sad. Please watch this film for a morbidly funny, creative, and well acted time. But note that it's not for the people who can't take extreme depression and violence in their movies. 10/10
starchy-2 I love everything about this movie and it's exactly my type of movie. It's funny without making you laugh all the time, more just delighted by what you're watching. It's scary in the right moments, absurd in the right moments, sad in the right moments. I loved the tone of the film, it's almost like it could sometimes be a musical, but it isn't (except for the credits scene), it's almost a thriller, but it's comedic enough to not get quite there, it's got a really interesting psychological premise, it makes you feel for the character of Jerry even when he's doing horrible things. You feel bad that he's doing those things but almost not really for the victim but for him because you know what doing those things is doing to him as well. This just really hit all the buttons I like in a movie like this. I'm extremely impressed with all the voices Ryan does (I didn't realize it was him because it truly sounds nothing like him at all). Ryan did fantastic in this movie, he was awkward, charming, funny, embarrassing, scary, intense, sad, etc. he did it all and did it very well. The director did a fantastic job with the whole thing, I really also liked the scene where our perception of the world shifts with Jerry's and we see the horror he's really living. It was definitely unique to me and I liked that insight going forward for the rest of the movie. It also makes you question his perception of the fact that his kills were "accidents" - was that true or is that how he's able to justify himself? Great movie, I continually watch it, and I completely recommend it to everyone. So good!!
optionsf Not funny, and not serious enough to be scary. So lost in the middle. Waste of talent. I kept thinking it would go to a Monty Python type satire but never got there. Dexter was way better at the genre.
gcomparcola 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
