Critics Consensus

The Voices gives Ryan Reynolds an opportunity to deliver a highlight-reel performance -- and offers an off-kilter treat for fans of black comedies.

Sophie Monks Kaufman

Little White Lies

By playing with storytelling rules, almost to the point of madness, Satrapi has elicited sympathy for the devil.

Rated: 4/5

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Swerving between pink-hued small-town satire and visceral gore, The Voices aims for the ghoulish humour of Eating Raoul or Parents - and, for the most part, misses.

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

It's wretchedly unfunny and tonally erratic, the striking production design notwithstanding.

Rated: 1/5

Deep Focus Review

The setup isn't exactly a mainstream commercial concept, but the energetic execution will appeal to cult audiences and those with a lurid sense of humor.

Rated: 3/4

NME (New Musical Express)

Because Satrapi struggles to make gory moments gel with the visual comedy...The Voices is too uneven to become the cult classic it sounds like.

Rated: 3/5

Was mildly amusing to start. Had to use subtitles as audio a bit off, so dint get to read as much as my book as I would have done b.utt. It needed to have more variety and depth. Disappointingly dismal attitude to psychosies. Should have played on actual avenues of this particular subject. Skim-laugh, smegma (I dint laugh) Felt ending was a bit sick. It was no May 33rd. I shoulda scored it lower. 5.4/0. 4.10.24. D.B.

Really great and underrated little movie. That perfectly blends dark humour to a pretty engaging story, and emotional ending . Easily one of Ryan Reynolds's best performances

Loved it, a bit uneven at times and certainly not a comedy. Dark, surreal and oddball. certainly worth a watch.

Visually stunning. The best I've ever seen from Ryan Reynolds.

This was an excellent movie, more of a comedy than a thriller. A young Ryan Reynolds portrays an accidental serial killer which takes a turn with voices from Mr Wiskers or Bosco keep talking to him.
