Critics Sentiment
Deer crashes through Jerry's windshield while driving Fiona
Jerry takes Lisa to his abandoned childhood home
The film peaks with the deer crash sequence that masterfully shifts the tone, then drops significantly during the middle act's slower childhood trauma exploration.
The Voices starts strong with critics praising its darkly comedic tone and Reynolds' performance, particularly the talking animals. The film maintains quality through its shocking tonal shifts and first murder, but loses momentum in the middle act before recovering with its bold surreal ending. Overall, reviewers appreciated its originality and Reynolds' range while noting tonal inconsistencies.
