WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Jerry Hickfang (Reynolds) is a friendly and upbeat factory worker whose chipper attitude wins him a date with his office crush Fiona (Arterton). He is also mentally ill, and after not taking his anti-psychotic medication begins to “notice” his cat and dog talking back to him, encouraging him down a dark and murderous path…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Voices is a darkly hilarious star turn from Ryan Reynolds, reminding the world he’s just as competent with comedy as he is for sinister and more dramatic turns.
