Fantastic!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

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!!

Ryan Reynolds is best known for playing the pretty boy in various Rom-Com-Movies. The good looking guy who falls in love with a good looking girl after going through a lot of trouble. Sometimes funny, sometimes romantic. But this movie gave him the chance to show a wider range of acting. Playing a psychopath is probably the most challenging role for an actor. But Reynolds did a great job in this movie playing a very strange character, that gets all your sympathy although doing terrible things. I've never felt more sympathy for a psychopath than in this movie. And his female victims (Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendick) make it even better. Very strange movie, but I love it!

'The Voices (2015)' is a black comedy of the darkest proportions, walking on a razor-sharp tightrope where even the slightest breeze could mean the difference between total silliness and utter seriousness in a way which makes the opposite elements stick out like sore, misshapen and misjudged thumbs. Thankfully, the piece manages to pull its contrasting elements together remarkably well without pulling any punches or picking the wrong moments to place an ill-informed gag, aside from the finale dance number which comes out of left field and feels much sillier in tone than anything preceding it. It's an odd flick to get on board with, though, and surely won't be for everyone. 7/10
