Matthew Turner Empire Magazine A superb soundtrack, great performances and just a hint of controversy, this is Almodóvar on top form. Rated: 4/5 Mar 25, 2024 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Almodovar uses the characters' unlikely predicaments to show how we define ourselves by narration, but his story is so overdetermined that ultimately the two men seem as constrained as their brain-dead sweethearts. Jan 11, 2008 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek It's Almodovar's most mature and mysterious movie. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Almodovar’s simple script reveals itself in complex ways, asking the audience to empathize with his characters in situations that seem unusual, but feel all too human. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 4, 2022 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) Almodovar's unique vision creates a sensual, extravagant world of its own. Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Almodóvar glibly, superficially and without opposition presents contemporary Spain as a series of beautiful images, largely devoid of a social context.

Leaburn O Saw this a few years back and found it loooing. Didn’t resonate with me. Watched on DVD. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Audience Member “Talk to Her” is one of Almodóvar’s most remarkable works. It compels you to reflect on your own moral views. The film is stunningly crafted, with each scene artistically framed to evoke a sense of traditional painting. The music, including the score and the songs, is exceptional, with Caetano Veloso’s performance being a standout. The plot is not only engaging and intricate but also enlightening in unexpected ways. It’s truly a must-see. Don’t miss this cinematic gem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Alexsander F Surpreendente e cheio de suspense! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Alex M One of the best movies I've ever seen. It's unfortunate that Almadovar no longer creates such compelling films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Kyle M During the first viewing, it dozes apathetically until the prompt gets truly realized and grasped as a social statement treading delicately on certain themes that convincingly deserves a second viewing with the newfound mindset. Appreciation has already been set over how it was remarkably well-made buoyed by fine performances albeit convoluting characterized connections blurred. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
