Critic Reviews for Let Them All Talk

All Critics (108) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (96) | Rotten (12)

  • The characters' disconnection from each other also tends to disconnect them from the viewer, making the film's transatlantic crossing aboard the Queen Mary 2 a long and languorous affair.

    February 24, 2021 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Brad Newsome

    Sydney Morning Herald

  • A clever and absorbing film that feels, alas, a little unfinished and a touch too improvisational.

    January 12, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Jocelyn Noveck

    Associated Press

  • "Let Them All Talk" offers enough surprises of tone, pleasures of mood, and piquantly composed images to carry the film through with a sort of visual music, compensating for the dramatic thinness without overcoming it.

    Richard Brody

    New Yorker

  • It's enjoyable for all the pasta it insistently throws against the wall -- and all the chewy dialogue and worthy ideas it glints upon in the meantime, about writing, about friendship, about experience. Bergen, in particular, is a delight.

    K. Austin Collins

    Rolling Stone

  • Part of the joy of watching Let Them All Talk is watching three screen legends bounce off of one another, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's just a story about gal pals. It's much more satisfying-and sadder-than that.

    Esther Zuckerman

    Thrillist

  • It's intriguing and enjoyable... Unpolished in an appealing sort of way.
