New Year's Reviews -- Let Them All Talk

New Year's Reviews -- Let Them All Talk

It seems that all my recent finds are on streaming services only, but they are all worth the subscription. HBO’s new film  Let Them All Talk is no different. Even if you can only commit to a trial subscription (or “borrow” the password from a friend, relative, or ex – on the down-low). Let Them All Talk’s main character, Alice Hughes, is played by Hollywood icon Meryl Streep. Alice is a successful novelist voyaging from New York to England on the Queen Mary II to receive a prestigious literary award, all the while missing the deadline on her new masterpiece. Her publishing company permits her nephew Tyler, played by Lucas Hedges (Lady Bird), to accompany her. Alice also requests the company of her two old college friends Roberta and Susan, who are played by Candice Bergen and Dianne Wiest respectively.   

What follows is a week-long cruise on the luxury ferry, where the three women relive and rehash their long-time quarrels. The entire film follows a lifetime of misunderstandings and confusion.  

My favorite thing about this film is the casting. There are three female powerhouse actresses, above the age of 30, on screen at one time. More specifically, these women are not playing grandmothers or frail witches. While this film is also directed by Steven Soderbergh, the director of the Ocean’s Trilogy, it has a different artistic pattern than his other films.   

The ensemble cast, and overall story of this movie is a great watch for a quiet New Year’s at home.
