Talk to Me Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Don Cheadle brings sharp humor and deep passion to his portrayal of the Washington, D.C., disk jockey and talk-show host Petey Greene in this historically vital and acute bio-pic...
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Speaks powerfully to audiences with its potent blend of extraordinary performances and engaging soundtrack.
Austin Chronicle
Toddy Burton
Despite its earnest attempts at power drama, the joy of Talk to Me lies in the comedy and the wild performances.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
The movie's occasional narrative shortcomings are offset by the performances, which are uniformly fine.
Wall Street Journal
Joanne Kaufman
Its dialogue, equal parts uptight honky and jumping jive seems, particularly in the early stretches, to have been generated by a computer.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
As Lemmons effortlessly makes her film both a colorful tour of the turbulent '60s and a delicately paced character study, the men emerge as two halves of a whole; often in disagreement, always brothers.
Detroit News
Tom Long
[A] well-acted film about making the move from the street to the mainstream.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
he mood shifts awkwardly from broad comedy to melodrama and social commentary.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Lemmons, her extraordinary cast and gifted crew deliver laughing, crying and plenty of signifying.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
Don Cheadle has elevated yet another film: Talk to Me is better than it intends to be. But thank Ejiofor as well.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
... has a solid sense of time and place and character.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Talk to Me is more than enough fun as a showcase for Mr. Cheadle's wit and spontaneity and as an inside look at the airwaves' transition from warm and fuzzy comforter to the anything-goes entertainment of today.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The movie also presents '60s turbulence from a black point of view, which is not only bracing but also feels closer to the point of it all.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Brilliant, alcoholic and self-destructive, Greene is the fascinating subject of Kasi Lemmons's funky, R&B-driven biopic -- a vital entertainment that struts confidently between comedy and drama.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A very honest yet curiously affecting experience.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It's an unfortunately neatly packaged tale about a man who, by all evidence, constantly and consciously resisted easy repackaging.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Watching it becomes an exercise in frustration when a potentially great movie winds up buried inside a just OK one.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
About halfway through the movie, it changes direction, becoming less a biographical drama about Petey than a maudlin buddy movie about his relationship with Dewey.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie begins with a whirlpool of comedy and manic energy, and then grows, as it must, more serious and introspective.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Smart, conflicted, and immensely entertaining.
