Filling a movie with insufferable and unlikable teenagers and young adults completely removed me from the experience. Similar to "Bodies Bodies Bodies', the cast was a bunch of try-hard teenagers with nasty attitudes, poor behavior and partaking in degenerate behavior that always sits very poorly with me. I'm so glad I neither had friends like any of these people, and that I never had the misfortune of interacting with anyone who behaved this badly in my youth. I believe the movie would have been more effective with an adult cast, but that's just my personal taste. Murphy, J. Kim; Setoodeh, Ramin; Setoodeh, Ramin (25 January 2023).

Mia finds herself in the hospital, where she sees a fully recovered Riley talking to Jade and Sue while Max leaves in an elevator going up. Nobody responds to her and she notices that she has no reflection in the mirror and her hands are disfigured. After becoming engulfed in darkness, she sees a hand extended over a candle in the distance. She grabs it and is suddenly summoned to a house party in Greece, [7] where a partygoer holding her hand is urged to speak and tells Mia, "I let you in." Chang, Justin (27 July 2023). "Review: You have to hand it to 'Talk to Me,' a gripping thriller about love and loss". Los Angeles Times. Archived from the original on 15 September 2023 . Retrieved 28 August 2023.The movie is mostly well-made. I love how loud the sound effects are. Sophie Wilde gives a great performance and Joe Bird has some amazing moments. It also uses the horror premise in a few unique ways, making it more like a game or a drug. There are some good ideas here, but sadly they're never fully developed or fully explained. The ending is by far the strongest part of the film, but the buildup to it remains virtually unexplained. It's a pity, because there would have been room for a good moral dilemma. Still, the last scene is great and redeems the second half of the film. Kroll, Justin (24 January 2023).

I don't think the film is particularly scary, relying more on body horror and disturbing imagery, but it is very unnerving and tense nonetheless. Talk to Me A24". a24films.com.

Retrieved 21 July 2023.There were a couple of clichés, and there were a couple of moments where you're left scratching your head, puzzling whether people would actually do the things that happened here, but those are minor faults, the only major gripe I had, was the rebirth of The Crazy Frog music (I thought our ears had been spared that years ago.) Way too much filler. I understand and appreciate setting things up for character attachment/development but the first 25-30 min was a snooze fest. The movie really did have an impactful effect on me, with me starting to feel a little ill by the end of the movie and me processing what all had just happened that I won't spoil in this review. Overall, the tone didn't just feel like shallow horror, but a legitimate one that actually has a foothold in Australian society that did feel somewhat believable in certain areas. The tension was soaring and ever present, the music was great too, there weren't many jump scares in this but the scary scenes themselves were clever and hard hitting.

a b Though it is never explicitly stated that the party is in Greece, the actors in the scene are credited as "Stranger in Greece", "Young Man in Greece", and "Men in Greece". Weak final act. When it's all said and done this movie is about a few entertaining and even scary scenes and a lot of messy writing all over the place. Are they trying too hard? Should they have focused on a different angle if the goal was to make this story deeper? You be the judge. Honestly I think this would have made a really good 12-13 minute short film.

Retrieved 19 August 2023.First of all this is a well tried trope and very common story. We have seen this in movies before, seen it in TV shows, and read it in books. This is immensely cliche. And as such you need to do something special with it, and you need to find some angle or extra to make it stand out, but no. This is just a cliche as you might think. No thought process whatsoever. But the worst thing, for me at least, is I was not nearly as engaged as I should have been during the climax. I wasn't on the edge of my seat. I was sort of just... there.
