Talk To Me (2007) | Ratings & Reviews

"Proves the old rule: posters that highlight the stellar soundtrack are probably promoting mediocre films."

Flicks, TeamFlicks

"The more Petey is allowed to live and breathe as a '60s streetwise hustler who literally barges his way into a D.C. radio station, the better pic handles its various agendas. But as Petey becomes a symbol of black liberation, the movie turns obvious and parched."

VarietyVariety

"The movie is decent enough, but contains Greene's story in a sentimentalised career arc."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Don Cheadle can do no wrong. And while Talk To Me is far from a great film, his performance is."

NewshubNewshub

"With its R&B soundtrack and footage of civil unrest, Talk to Me might seem to cover familiar ground. But as an intimate portrait of the complex, fruitful and extremely volatile friendship between trailblazing African American men whose daring came to redefine an industry, it's fresh and revelatory."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"There’s terrific chemistry between the leads, but an episodic structure set over 20 years is too sprawling to really allow for a connection."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Nonetheless, with a stunning soul soundtrack and scathing one-liners, Talk to Me is well worth a watch, if only to compare how placid and scripted today's radio personalities have become."

Dominion PostDominion Post

"A traditionally handsome biopic bursting with 1960s period detail and firecracker performances, Talk To Me tackles one of the most volatile periods in American history, but tragically finds nothing interesting to say about it."
