The Voices

Dark comedy that touches on some very serious mental health topics. Good pacing and funny, but also melancholic, tragic, and a little uncomfy to watch. This just shows how much range Ryan Reynolds has 👏

How have I not heard of this movie until I had it recommended to me. This movie was great, it was such a unique take on the horror genre, and a unique take on the general killer plot in a movie. Ryan Reynolds was actually amazing in this movie.

Rating: 6.7/10

The Voices is a unique and unforgettable black comedy that blends quirky humor with grim psychological horror. Ryan Reynolds delivers a phenomenal performance as Jerry, a lonely and disturbed individual with a fractured psyche.

Highlights
- Ryan Reynolds' Performance: Reynolds' performance is versatile and layered, capturing Jerry's cheerful and disturbed personality.
- Bold Direction: Director Marjane Satrapi's visual depiction of Jerry's mental state is brilliant and effective.
- Original Story: The screenplay is wildly original and darkly funny, exploring loneliness and severe mental illness.

Criticisms
- Tonal Whiplash: The film's shifts between comedy and violence are jarring and uncomfortable.
- Meandering Plot: The plot can feel repetitive, particularly in the middle section.
- Unsettling Ending: The musical-number ending is memorable but may not land for everyone.

Verdict
The Voices is a strange and daring film that's a must-see for Reynolds' performance. It's a one-of-a-kind black comedy with cult classic potential, but its jarring tone and disturbing subject matter make it a challenging watch.

It's not often that horror makes me sad, but this is one of those movies. You connect with the cast, and their struggles. You laugh, and then you cry. A good mix of horror, comedy, and genuine emotion.

Ryan Reynolds has Ed Gein-like qualities with a mix of Norman Bates while Anna Kendrick is her usual adorable self. Enjoy!

we get fully thrown into his delusion and it is fantastic to watch unfold.
