Leave your thoughts about The Voices.
| Nerd ReportFred TopelThe Voices is a dark comedy, emphasis more on dark than comedy, and it goes there. It maintains a creepy tone throughout but it's sensitive to Jerry too. |
| Film.comEric D. SniderHere is a pitch-black psycho-horror-comedy to restore one’s faith in the “What the eff did I just watch?” genre. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonWhile it may not necessarily be a film that will be universally embraced by genre fans, The Voices is a triumphant example of independent filmmaking at its very best and is undoubtedly one of the best roles Reynolds' has tackled to date. |
| Movie MezzanineAndy CrumpThe Voices has its share of shocks, but the greatest of all may be the combination of star and director. |
| HitFixDan FienbergThe film's ability to go back and forth between absurdity and actual creepiness is also at least somewhat tied to Reynolds' performance, which has an air of menace mixed with its comedic simpleness. |
| Movie MezzanineDan SchindelThis is a gripping look at mental illness as filtered through some extreme stylization. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe Voices is a deeply warped, darkly funny and thoroughly depraved horror comedy... and whether you find this sort of thing walk-out-of-the-theater distasteful or wickedly subversive, I’m fairly confident we won’t see another movie like it for quite some time. |
| Film Journal InternationalNick SchagerThis Ryan Reynolds-headlined indie strikes an uneasy balance between bloody mayhem and mirth. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordBy the time we get to the closing singalong (with Jesus!), you'll be left wondering if [director] Satrapi's the one who's been taking Jerry's meds....a true cult item in the making. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigThe quirky film is simultaneously bizarre, humorous, disturbing and suspenseful. |
