March 18, 2012Almodovar is a genius, so enough said? Plot twists are superb. Acting is wonderful. The idea that sex can awaken a sleeping maiden is marvelous--the idea that you can love someone in a totally one-sided relationship is....scary. But see it once, and see it several times to ge... read more

September 10, 2011fb1216165431Talk To Her is an offbeat, mature, and mysterious story of passion; and the unappreciated admiration that has developed into something controversial and bizarre. In the most perverse scenario, a lovely story.

March 29, 2011fb619846742A daring, beautiful film concerning two woman who are both in comas, and the men who stay with them and "talk" to them, along the way developing a friendship that encounters some significant strain as well.

July 28, 2009Pedro Almodóvar continues to confound and amaze me. He can take the most peculiar circumstances, the most perverse scenarios, and extract incredible, romantic love stories. I'm not certain how he does it, but after viewing several of his films I have formed a hypothesis: he vi... read more

July 17, 2009Whoa, Almodovar knows how to cut where it hurts. A strange story about two very different women and the men that accompany them through their comas. I love how we experience a whole rainbow of emotions, outlined with beautiful dancing sequences and bullfighting shapes.

March 19, 2009Beautiful, poetic, and funny often in unexpected ways until one character made a decision to do something to some girl in a coma that resulted in some other thing that I can't mention here, but this certain something took me completely out of the picture.

November 6, 2008Having recently sat through a large number of films dealing with people who have become bedridden (Peter Pan Formula, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Breaking Waves) Talk to her seemed to be treading similar ground at first.

Good, but not classic Almodovar.

Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
It is a singularly impressive work, able to generate laughs one moment and tears the next.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fans of [Almodóvar] will enjoy the themes he has recycled and revisited.

Tom Long, Detroit News
The best film of the past year, Talk to Her is adventuresome, sad, hilarious, odd and completely at peace with its own admittedly mad premise. Full Review

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Elegant and eloquent [meditation] on death and that most elusive of passions, love. Full Review
