Critic Reviews of "Talk to Me"
Bob Mondello NPR.orgOctober 18, 2008In its wrenching shift from farce to tragedy, and its evocation of the bridge offered by friendship, Talk to Me tells it, and keeps on tellin' it, much as 'Petey' Greene would have.
Jonathan Crocker Time OutNovember 22, 2007Thanks to its two leads, the film remains vivid, honest and deeply felt.
Claudia Puig USA TodaySeptember 01, 2007Speaks powerfully to audiences with its potent blend of extraordinary performances and engaging soundtrack.
Bruce Newman San Jose Mercury NewsAugust 03, 2007The movie's occasional narrative shortcomings are offset by the performances, which are uniformly fine.
Joanne KaufmanJuly 27, 2007Its dialogue, equal parts uptight honky and jumping jive seems, particularly in the early stretches, to have been generated by a computer.
Rob Salem Toronto StarJuly 27, 2007The characters are brought to vivid life with remarkably compelling performances by two of the screen's most versatile actors: Don Cheadle as the freewheeling Greene; and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Hughes, the aggressively ambitious executive.
Nick Rogers Suite101.comOctober 20, 2010Kasi Lemmons' radio drama of flamboyance, fury and finesse cranks the funk on a sister station to "Talk Radio" and "Good Morning Vietnam," powered by two performances of impeccable clarity and cut from Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Tom Meek Boston PhoenixApril 23, 2009Although the director succumbs to the genreâ(TM)s temptation to wrap up a messy life with a neat, platitudinous resolution, she lets her cast give Greene and his era its due.
Tony MacklinFebruary 02, 2009Talk to Me is an incisive portrait of a provocative figure. It comes very close to caricature, but remains human and lively.
Tim Basham Paste MagazineJuly 22, 2008Just as she did in Hustle and Flow, Taraji P. Henson steals many a scene and is wonderful as Greene's flamboyant girlfriend.
George Palathingal Sydney Morning HeraldFebruary 22, 2008It's a visually and aurally riveting trip to an important time from a perspective few here will know, about a person worth meeting.
Urban Cinefile Critics Urban CinefileFebruary 14, 2008Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor make a terrific duo, first as enemies, then as colleagues and finally as partners %u2013 until the partnership self destructs.
