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.

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
