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

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 26, 2015

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 22, 2015

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2015

The film is gory, odd (with its scenes of talking animals and severed heads in fridges), horribly uneven but intermittently very funny in its own tasteless, grand-guignol fashion.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2015

The Voices doesn't work as a comedy because it isn't funny, and it doesn't work as a thriller because it's not suspenseful, and it doesn't work as an exploration of schizophrenia, if that is what this is meant to be about, as it's not insightful.

| Mar 19, 2015

It is an overwhelmingly dislikable film, an intensely unfunny and unscary horror-comedy about a serial killer played by Ryan Reynolds on his most irritating form.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 19, 2015

Full-force performance form Ryan Reynolds but not as funny as it hopes it is.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2015

Think of this stylish, quirky and quite grisly feature from Marjane Satrapi as a meeting of Psycho, Dexter and Dr. Doolittle.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 20, 2015

The movie has to be taken at face value: As a wacky and unsettling jaunt into sheer madness.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 13, 2015

Casting Ryan Reynolds as a small-town geek who has trouble getting a date may seem as pointless as taking a loving cup to a Leafs game, but the bright-eyed Canadian star makes this dark, dark comedy twinkle with offbeat appeal.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 12, 2015

A deeply warped, darkly funny and thoroughly depraved horror comedy. Ryan Reynolds gives one of his best performances.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 11, 2015

Like Satrapi's other films,The Voices is stylish, striking, and lively.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 9, 2015

It's the most likable Ryan Reynolds has been in a film in, well, forever, basically. He's not necessarily good, mind you.

| Feb 7, 2015

This Ryan Reynolds-headlined indie strikes an uneasy balance between bloody mayhem and mirth.

Full Review | Feb 6, 2015

The film is mostly a mess, albeit an occasionally endearing one.

| Feb 6, 2015

I've always liked Reynolds for the most part, but he does his best work yet here in Satrapi's odd, pitch-black comedy about a man who talks to his dog and cat. And they talk back.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 6, 2015

The big question here is why any of "The Voices," as crisply made and stylish as it is, should matter or entertain. The cold truth is that it doesn't.

| Feb 5, 2015

Grisly but not especially suspenseful, tongue-in-cheek without any real wit, "The Voices" aims to hit the intersection of horror and comedy but tumbles into an uncanny valley of tedious creepiness.

| Feb 5, 2015

Simultaneously bizarre, humorous, disturbing and suspenseful.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 5, 2015

Like most slasher lampoons, The Voices tries to be as bloody and creepy as flicks that take psycho-killing more seriously. This is a major waste of time in a movie that's about a half-hour longer than its setup justifies.
