Our take
Winner of a Best Original Screenplay Oscar®, Talk To Her boasts a sublimely improbable premise making for a perfect distillation of modern melodrama. This darkly exquisite version of Sleeping Beauty, where wounds and desire become indiscernible, is a transcendent celebration of male vulnerability.
