(More Than) One Sentence Movie Reviews: “Talk to Me”
See Talk to Me. You must. A biography of Petey Greene (video, a genius disection of racial stereotypes), an ex-con, turned radio DJ in Washington DC in the 1960s and 1970s. Don Cheadle, well Don Cheadle goes Don Cheadle all over this part. His partner at the radio station, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, make this maybe the best male partnership in movies since Butch and Sundance.
Ejiofor you may recognize from Children of Men or Dirty, Pretty Things or Kinky Boots. But probably not. He’s probably the most underrated actor this side of Oliver Platt.
I loved this movie. Funny, smart, sad, with an incredible soundtrack. Wanted to watch it again the minute it was done.
See it see it see it.
