Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Dear lord Almodovar is a fucking genius. The story of this film is exquisitely beautiful and the acting is incredible. The production design and the cinematography go together to make one hell of a gorgeous film to watch. The ending made me cry. Also I absolutely loved the silent film that Benigno tells Alicia about. This is probably one of the best movies ever made.

I'm actually fairly repulsed by this movie. Perhaps it will take me a second viewing or extensive background reading to get over the apparent non-issue that was her rape, but I actually don't care about a single one of this film's storytelling merits at this point.

All of Almodóvar's films are so magnificent. The plots are usually great, and it's just a matter of a few details that make some of his films stand out. This one is rather conventional (as in not many social pariahs). The structure is very interesting, and adds a lot. It was great to see two very different stories tackled in the same films.

Quintessential late-period Almodóvar a.k.a. the film that gave birth to my cine-capriccio.

I should be more patient waiting to watch this when I get other Almodovar's features around. And now I'm exhausted to watch another of him, they're just so addictive. Beautiful.

"A woman’s brain is a mystery, and in this state even more so. You have to pay attention to women, talk to them, be thoughtful occasionally. Caress them. Remember they exist, they’re alive and they matter to us. That’s the only therapy. I know from experience."

Instead of taking a pill when I'm depressed, I watch this movie...always... and it makes me calm

It's tough I wouldn't say I like it or I hate it, nevertheless it is a highly intelligent film. I love how Almodovar always comes up with a twisted stories

Almodovar has a vision but it is often muddied in this film, part cautionary tale and part character study, the story ultimately employs shocking visual and narrative chicanery for effect and sadly what begins interestingly enough gets side tracked by some other purpose than storytelling in cinematic terms. I would have liked to have seen an editor more heavily involved, perhaps this would have faired better.

My first Almodovar experience, and definitely not my last. I really enjoyed the pacing of the film, and most certainly the honest and frank portrayal of some pretty confronting subject matter. Dealing with communication and loneliness the jumps forward and backward through time, slowly revealing more and more about characters and their relationships. I am struggling to come to terms with the ending, especially the announcement of the new relationship, but apart from that, Talk To Her is a film that looks at fairly intimate issues with dignity and grace.

Strangely conventional treatement of an highly original story. I would have focused on the main characters, the relation between the woman and the solitary care taker, during the whole movie. Compared to recent masterpieces, Talk to Her is somehow flawed. I remember thinking it was too shy and unfocused back when I didn't know much about cinema. Now, it really is too shy ! Made for people who want to understand fast.
