Talk To Me: Indie London review

Indie London reviewed the Talk To Me DVD...

As well as being highly entertaining – I might even go so far as to say compulsive viewing – Talk To Me has a very clear message and the clue is in the title.

Claire, disillusioned with a long-term relationship devoid of excitement (though to give her her due, she does try to rekindle the spark by tempting Woody in the back of a taxi and, following their unceremonious expulsion, in an alleyway), turns to another man – instead of talking it through with her husband. A familiar story and particularly ironic here as it’s Mitch who encourages listeners to “Talk to me” with their problems.
But if you think Mitch comes out of this unscathed, you’d be wrong. He does, however, take responsibility for his actions and in a moving farewell speech, live on air, gives Woody food for thought and ultimately, Claire reason to “hope”. An unexpected but welcome finale.

Well acted and well filmed, Talk To Me is definitely one to watch.
