Talk to Me

I had a chance to see Talk to Me last week. Like the last bio-pic I reviewed, this one was all about the acting. Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor, as 1960s Washington radio personalities Petey Green and Dewey Hughes, give phenomenal performances. Every Don Cheadle performance has become something of a revelation. Such variety. The film is good. There are too many sections that drag--the film feels very very long--but there are also moments of extraordinary impact. The section of the film that covers the assassination of Martin Luther King is as moving and important as anything that will be released this year.
