I always thought that we are lucky our pets don’t have the gift of words. It will probably be a miserable situation to discover that they are smarter than us. My cat, for example, sleeps sixteen hours a day and is immediately satisfied when she moans for food.

Stop here; The Voices doesn’t deserve to be revealed before a view. Marjane Satrapi, the great Iranian cartoonist, directs for the first something that was not drawn to her before. But some things are in DNA, so The Voices is a triumph of colours and shadows representing the actual and fictitious worlds where Reynolds’ character lives. Hard to say which is the good one, probably where cats and dogs talk to him, and Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick happily sing for our hero.
The Voices is a lovely dark comedy, far more dramatic than it seems, and this is one of the many merits of the movie that is also funny, entertaining and very well played by the whole cast. Including the cat, dog and moose. Yes, the moose.
