Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News “The Way We Speak” sticks with you and even offers a sense of healing. Rated: 3/4 Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com The performances are uniformly excellent. Rated: 3/4 Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry The Way We Speak is a formidable and ambitious drama that shows the power of words. A rich character study with fantastic performances and sharp dialogue, it’s a must-see for 2024. Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment An effective psychological study of the mind space occupied by a man experiencing several dilemmas while trying to hold onto some ego-driven level of respectability. Rated: 7/10 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Gissane Sophia Marvelous Geeks Media Ian Ebright’s The Way We Speak is significant in its means of brutally reminding viewers of why our words matter. It’s outright cruel at times, a little slow, and yet intricately thoughtful in how it chooses character remarks. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review A talky, compelling drama that speaks to the power of one’s conviction in their beliefs and, more importantly, respecting another’s differing opinion. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
