"No es que peque de purista o que insista en que las cintas deben tratar de algo, pero la profundidad es una cosa, y el tratar de cubrir cosas de más es otra..."
Cinenganos
Alex Ramirez
"Almost operatic in its execution, 'Talk to Her' packs quite an emotional wallop."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
"Very few directors could get away with making a film like this, but Almodovar not only gets away with it, he delivers a masterpiece."

Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
3.5/4

Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
A+
"It's a stunning masterpiece."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3.5/4
"Almodovar suggests the need for spiritual invention regardless of the nature of one's crippledom."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
"(Un cineasta) para no entender del todo y para seguir esperando."
Uruguay Total
Enrique Buchichio
B+
"A rumination on love that becomes more twisted as it goes."

Eric D. Snider
B+
"Even when Aldomovar is obviously showing off, we're convinced that he cares."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
C+
"If you've cared for Almodovar's previous work, you should like it; if not, it may strike you as equally contrived and vaguely unpleasant."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Almodovar is an imaginative teacher of emotional intelligence in this engaging film about two men who discover what William James once called 'the gift of tears.'"
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A
"As intense as it is meditative, as disturbing as it is passionate."
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
3.5/4
"A drama of great power, yet some members of the audience will leave the theater believing they have seen a comedy."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/4
"a singular film, one that captures everything about Almodóvar’s career to this point, but also transcends it through the simple beauty of its idealism"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/4
"Passions, obsessions, and loneliest dark spots are pushed to their most virtuous limits, lending the narrative an unusually surreal tone."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
8/10
"
Talk to Her
is excellent movie-making and much of it is wondrous, but my conscience won't allow me to be devoted to unconditionally singing its praises."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
8/10
"Compelling, engaging and thought-provoking, with superb work in front of and behind the camera."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
4.5/5
"This profound comedic drama is anything but comatose and is likely to be on your repeated viewing list"
ToxicUniverse.com
John A. Nesbit
4/4
"'Almodóvar logra un filme entrañable, lleno de compasión, comprensión, amor, amistad, esperanza y humanidad que es sencillamente inolvidable.'"
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
4/5
"This ode to the peculiar strength and flexibility of love, romantic and platonic, is simultaneously perverse, overwrought, deeply creepy and truly moving."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3.5/5
"This film, which is much better than my previous Almodovar experiences, still makes me wonder a little about Almodovar."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
4/5
"There's so much going on beneath the surface that you can hardly take it all in."
Film Threat
Rich Cline
4/5
"There are lots of odd sequences that add texture (abstract ballet sequences, an extended silent movie scene that goes very surreal), and so much going on beneath the surface that you can hardly take it all in."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
A-
"the kind of film that grows on you upon reflection"
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
B-
"Haphazardly blends drama and comedy into a heap of discomfort."
Eclipse Magazine
Sean O'Connell
"There's no doubt that Pedro Almodóvar is a twisted master, but his newest gender-bending romp stumbles over itself."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
10/10
"A complex, amusing, insightful 10."
