Plots(1)
Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is an affable singleton who works on the factory floor at a bathtub factory, ever eager to get along with his co-workers, especially Fiona (Gemma Arterton) and Lisa (Anna Kendrick) from accounts. After work Jerry goes home to his pet cat, Mr. Whiskers, and loyal dog Bosco, where the three of them hang out, watch TV and discuss the day's events. When one night he accidentally kills Fiona, Jerry hastily covers his tracks, under the strict advice of the subversive Mr. Whiskers. But Jerry is already beyond the reach of his well-meaning psychiatrist Dr. Warren (Jacki Weaver) and things are also looking bad for Lisa, who has taken a shine to Jerry. Despite Bosco trying to keep Jerry on the straight and narrow, Mr. Whiskers seems to be the loudest voice in Jerry's head and soon events have spiraled and salvation is all Jerry can hope for.

A pleasant genre film. Ryan Reynolds is great, the evil cat is amazing, the doggy portrays the best friend correctly, the humour works occasionally too, so the only complaint is the lack of gore, which is a pity, in two scenes the film had a decent momentum, after that it sort of mellowed, but still a nice thing. 75%

The Voices is an unexpectedly empathetic film that offers an entertaining view into a warped mind while striking a balance between playful and chilling.

The Voices is really a charming, pink horror comedy that pleases with its cute approach with talking animals but also with a high level of brutality and dramatic scenes, so everyone basically finds something for themselves. The film is full of funny dialogues and humor, which mainly comes from the animals. In addition, Ryan Reynolds is totally adorable in the role of a cute madman and Satrapi could not have chosen a more likable face. I am surprised that a woman directed something like this. It was only in the final credits that a touch of friendly estrogen appeared. After the screening, I had very mixed feelings, but overall, I enjoyed the film on a positive note.

This really got to me. The poster is quite intriguing, and the cast as well, because I really like both Ryan and Anna, but for Marjane Satrapi to direct something like this... Well, I was very surprised, but also very pleased. A magically brutal and absurd film, which actually seemed quite normal and beautiful to me in this respect.
