The last time I saw Ryan Reynolds in a film was The Proposal (2009). It wasn’t my favourite and kind of kept me away from future Reynolds movies. Having now watched The Voices (2014), I can confirm that my attitude has changed.

The Voices is a crime/comedy film directed by Marjane Satrapi and stars Reynolds as Jerry – a sinister/very unbalanced individual who somehow manages to remain likeable.

You’ll probably find yourself not quite rooting for him, as such, on account of the murdering. However, empathy will kick in since he’s definitely ‘not well’.

The way the director/cinematographer present the world of Jerry, how he sees things as opposed to actual reality is a particular highlight.

Watch it for a pleasantly different turn from Reynolds and good performances from Jacki Weaver,  Anna Kendrick and Gemma Aterton. I was also glad to see great character actor Sam Spruell’s name on the cast list. 

Happy Film Loving,
