The TelegraphTim RobeyMar 19, 2015
For all its flashes of ingenuity, The Voices is secretly more scared than scary, lacking the truly disturbing ambition to get real. Read full review

Time Out LondonDavid EhrlichMar 17, 2015
Directed by cartoonist-turned-filmmaker Marjane Satrapi (‘Persepolis’), ‘The Voices’ steamrolls over boundaries between genres and giddily ignores the limits of good taste. Read full review

EmpireNick de SemlyenMar 16, 2015
Full-force performance form Ryan Reynolds but not as funny as it hopes it is. Read full review

Total FilmKevin HarleyMar 16, 2015
Reynolds moves on from Green Lantern in Satrapi’s psycho-romp, pitched awkwardly between funny-haha and funny-peculiar, but blessed with enough style and smarts to merit a look. Read full review

The GuardianXan BrooksJan 26, 2015
Satrapi's disreputable little creepshow finally doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Maybe that's fine. The Voices provides an enjoyably trashy antidote to the traditional Sundance fare of soulful drama and crusading documentary. Read full review

In tapping Satrapi to interpret this project, the producers have done about as well as one could expect with such material. Still, a bit more consistency in style would have gone a long way. Read full review

The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd Feb 4, 2015
Satrapi makes some bad calls in her attempts to balance bleak humor with bleaker thrills, including ending the film on a glibly cheerful note. Her best decision, bar none, was entrusting such heavy material to the guy who played Van Wilder. Behind that perpetual smirk lurks a talent for quiet depravity. Bonkers looks good on him.

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriFeb 6, 2015
This film really doesn’t know what to do with itself, except to show us the difference between Jerry’s happy world and his dark world as if it’s some kind of revelation; it’s the one move the film has, and it does it over and over again. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleFeb 5, 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. Read full review
