Reynolds contributed an uncredited cameo to Seth MacFarlane’s talking-teddy-bear smash Ted (12), and The Voices contains onslaughts of Ted-like sexual wisecracks from Mr. Whiskers, the archetypal loner cat, as well as slobbering and butt-sniffing from Bosco, the archetypal owner-loving dog.
Now, director Marjane Satrapi brings the story of Marie Sklodowska-Curie to the screen, with Rosamund Pike (“State of the Union” and “Gone Girl”) as the star.
Desplat once scored the Persian magical realist fantasy Chicken with Plums, about love separated and never reunited, and it remains one of the most enrapturing of recent scores that I have heard.
In fact, he has more in common with the actor’s career-best (and underseen) turn as an unwitting serial killer in 2015’s The Voices , down to the mile-wide smile that’s an inch away from turning psychotic.
It’s a shame, because Reynolds is a more versatile actor than I think even he gives himself credit for; go watch criminally underseen gems like The Voices and Mississippi Grind for evidence of that.
