Let Them All Talk

"The title is appropriate: it’s garrulous, elegant, bristling with classy performances from an A-list cast, and Deborah Eisenberg’s screenplay has a theatrical intimacy."

"May not be literature exactly, but it broadens other creators’ of idea of what the medium can do."

"The run-and-gun approach that makes this movie possible is also what ends up shooting it in the foot, as the clock is always ticking and Soderbergh never has time to get out of the shallows."

"The sort of thing one might cook up to help pass the time during an extended voyage."

"It feels like another Soderbergh experiment."

"There’s a gentle, lived-in quality to the material that’s a departure for Soderbergh, whose films would rarely be called heartfelt."

"Steven Soderbergh’s signature formal gamesmanship enlivens what could have been a stodgy scenario."

"It’s a wonderful film to experience as an acting and filmmaking exercise. Just take the trip."

"Soderbergh also offers some surprises, steering this polished little film in unexpected directions."

"It's full of wry observations about the confusion of relationships — female friendships in particular — along with droll insights about a writer's inspiration and whether drawing from real life constitutes a license or a betrayal."

"Something refined, naturalistic, specific, enigmatic and funny..."

"There’s a loose, jazzy verve to the production, a sort of sonic and visual razzmatazz that gives the film a fanciful Oceans 11-style gloss."
