(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "unusually for a biopic, it is Petey's failure to change, from beginning to end, that forms an essential part of his lionisation."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel 3.5/5 "(N)o matter the factual flaws here, Talk to Me generates so much period appropriate juice and evocative energy that you can't help but feel caught up in the events transpiring before your eyes."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B "No matter the tonal peaks and valleys, Talk to Me brings Greene's attitude to the big screen with confidence, led by Cheadle's amazing performance."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C+ "In spite of Cheadle's forceful performance, the watered down script fails to capture the rawness and polemic logic of a groundbreaking social commentator who spoke truth power on a daily basis."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey C "This straightforward schematic biopic never talks to me."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B "It starts out breathlessly funny, fast-paced, and energetic before ultimately settling in to a standard biopic formula that's not nearly as compelling."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "What I'm hoping flies under the radar is the unexpected and disappointing transformation of Kasi Lemmons, whose previous pitch-black, haunted sensibility barely makes an appearance in her highest-profile film."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Ejiofor and Cheadle are a force to be reckoned with..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 3/4 "Hysterically potent, thought-provoking and deliciously nostalgic. Overall, the proposed chatter is warranted in the movingly impish Talk to Me."   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng B+ "Though there's tension between the two halves of Talk to Me, both of them are quite good."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "Explores the many levels of a friendship between a button-down African-American radio program director and a tell-it-like-it-is deejay who connects with the black community in Washington D.C"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Cheadle and Ejiofor are riveting together; they have the kind of apparently effortless chemistry that makes every scene they share a delight."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "A biopic with a strong sense of character and period."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor are two of the best actors of my generation working today, period."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Lemmons tells her based-on-real-life tale with enough enthusiasm to partially obscure both the clichés lining her plot's path as well as her cursory address of the roiling social unrest gripping the country."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "[Cheadle] brings warmth, humor, and vulnerability to a role that could easily have been a Good Morning, Vietnam-level blunder."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "This film's slightly uneven structure is easily overcome by the exceptional cast."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "A good movie about a powerful friendship, and it brings a bygone era back to life."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 3.5/5 "constructs such a complete image of proud and passionate radio host Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene that we immediately understand why the deep flaws in his personality could only have led to his downfall."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "...a movie that perfectly captures the vibe of a person, a place, a time and a way of being, and even gets, indirectly and without a whiff of sanctimoniousness, to the heart of what being an American ought to mean."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1
