Let Them All Talk feels like you’re sitting down to watch a documentary. His continued eye for detail brings such a layer of humanity to the characters. For better or worse, their lives are open for all to see.

Let Them All Talk ties all this greatness together in a perfect bow. My favorite movie of 2020 without a doubt...

It is a wonderful film to see a masterclass of acting and filmmaking.

With its small budget and limited setting, the film is fully focused on its characters, heavily relying on their frequent and immensely talky interactions.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2022

A film that works very hard to give the impression of a light, breezy comedy but is actually a plodding, overlong bore.

| Original Score: 3/10 | May 13, 2022

The sea voyage has a few interesting conversations about womanhood in old age, but the lack of emotion is so clear that the characters sink into their own improvisation. Full review in Spanish

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 9, 2022

The film is a complete blast with a dry attitude and lavish setting that is incredibly watchable and inexplicably seductive.

Let Them All Talk could feel like a meaningless trifle to a cynical viewer; it could also feel life-affirming.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2022

In Soderbergh's hands, the aesthetic is the opposite of mumblecore, the indie format that relies on improvisation and can be off-puttingly self-indulgent.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 18, 2021

[The film is a] comedy of inarticulateness, one that doesn't just play on a writer's stereotypical fear of speech ... but also turns improvisational dead air into a virtue.

The finale is perhaps the one false note in the film [and] threatens to sink the entire ship.

| Jun 5, 2021

Let Them All Talk is essentially and unnecessarily an innocuous work.

| Jun 1, 2021

Let Them All Talk is coated in thick colors both warm and cool. The images stab and warble just like the bluesy organ on the soundtrack.

| Mar 22, 2021

It's a pragmatic yet rippling navigational episode rescued by the performances.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 21, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 24, 2021

There's nothing flashy about Let Them All Talk, and that's for the best. Soderbergh has let his award-worthy cast do what they do best, and they deliver an engaging story that lives up to its unique setting.

The scenes between Streep and Hedges, a bestselling author and the nephew that worships the ground she walks on, are so effortlessly natural...

| Jan 27, 2021

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 12, 2021

The film's chief appeal, by a whole lot, is in watching three AAA-level veterans riff with each other as their director riffs along with them.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 4, 2021

I held on through thick but mostly thin for the fun of watching Streep and Hedges play busily off each other and for Dianne Wiest's imperturbable performance as the surer, more simmering friend.
