Counted the jumpscares in Talk to Me. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.
“This film is a war crime against cinema.”

The cinematography in Talk to Me is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Talk to Me last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Talk to Me actually is?
Just got out of Talk to Me and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: Talk to Me is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Talk to Me was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
