 "Open-ended and composed of layer upon layer, Talk to Her is a cinephile's feast, an invitation to countless interpretations."
-- Erica Abeel, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"A rich and complex melodrama in which the director's sensibility is borne out by even the smallest details."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY
"Talk to Her is so darned assured, we have absolutely no idea who the main characters are until the film is well under way -- and yet it's hard to stop watching."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Complex, affecting and uniquely Almodóvar, the film evokes strong emotions and pushes viewers to question their deepest notions of moral right and wrong."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"Passions, obsessions, and loneliest dark spots are pushed to their most virtuous limits, lending the narrative an unusually surreal tone."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY
"Elegant and eloquent [meditation] on death and that most elusive of passions, love."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"Some movies are like a tasty hors-d'oeuvre; this one is a feast."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"A memorable experience that, like many of his works, presents weighty issues colorfully wrapped up in his own idiosyncratic strain of kitschy goodwill."
-- Matt Brunson, CREATIVE LOAFING
"(Un cineasta) para no entender del todo y para seguir esperando."
-- Enrique Buchichio, URUGUAY TOTAL
"the kind of film that grows on you upon reflection"
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"No wonder they're talking about "Talk to Her." It's astonishing."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"At heart, it's a sick, scandalous joke, but you can't quite bring yourself to laugh at something so deeply felt and so gravely elegant."
-- Mike D'Angelo, TIME OUT NEW YORK
"An effortlessly accomplished and richly resonant work."
-- Tom Dawson, BBCI FILMS

"Occasionally funny, always very colorful and enjoyably overblown in the traditional Almodóvar style."
-- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"'Almodóvar logra un filme entrańable, lleno de compasión, comprensión, amor, amistad, esperanza y humanidad que es sencillamente inolvidable.'"
-- Jorge Avila Andrade, MOVIOLA
"Amoldóvar is a master of emotional texture, peeling away layer upon layer of the feelings...until he reaches Benigno's troubled psyche and Marco's benevolent soul."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"The most beguiling amalgamation yet of Almodóvar's pet themes."
-- Josef Braun, VUE WEEKLY (EDMONTON, CANADA)
"Almodovar is an imaginative teacher of emotional intelligence in this engaging film about two men who discover what William James once called 'the gift of tears.'"
-- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH
"Talk to Her is excellent movie-making and much of it is wondrous, but my conscience won't allow me to be devoted to unconditionally singing its praises."
-- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES
"There's so much going on beneath the surface that you can hardly take it all in."
-- Rich Cline, FILM THREAT
"Talk To Her is not the perfect movie many have made it out to be, but it’s still quite worth seeing."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"This has to be one of the most bizarre love stories ever to be filmed, not since Nine ˝ Weeks has anybody done this much pampering for his 'girlfriend'."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Talk To Her manages to be female-centric even as it explores the lives of men."
-- Duane Dudek, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

"A drama of great power, yet some members of the audience will leave the theater believing they have seen a comedy."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"It would be interesting to hear from the other side, but in Talk to Her, the women are down for the count."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"Combines improbable melodrama (gored bullfighters, comatose ballerinas) with subtly kinky bedside vigils and sensational denouements, and yet at the end, we are undeniably touched."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Funny, sexy, devastating and incurably romantic."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
 "Initial strangeness inexorably gives way to rote sentimentality and mystical tenderness becomes narrative expedience."
-- J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE
"A movie of technical skill and rare depth of intellect and feeling."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
"You'll end up moved."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
"One of the finest films of 2002, the work of a master who shows no signs of slowing down."
-- Peter Howell, TORONTO STAR
"Pure cinematic intoxication, a wildly inventive mixture of comedy and melodrama, tastelessness and swooning elegance."
-- Liam Lacey, GLOBE AND MAIL
"This is Almodovar's stab at serious drama, and the result is bizarre and affecting but also unsettling in ways that the filmmaker may not have intended."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

"The movie is the strangest experience: a matter-of-fact thing that swallows you whole."
-- David Edelstein, SLATE
