Necronomicon J

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

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Didn't laugh once. A bad idea that was poorly executed.

Comedy is subjective but this made me laugh. How Ryan Reynold's character goes about doing pretty much everything in this movie is very funny.

At first, the excessive style seems to be compensating for a weak screenplay until you realize it is a calculated effort to distinguish between the main character's perception of his surroundings and their dark reality. Reynolds' performance confirms he's far better than the roles in mediocre comedies he's usually given.

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
