Margareta Blue Träumer This film is not a love story, but one about what it means to be utterly alone and unable to establish human connection. Marco seems to understand that Benigno's great plague is loneliness, and, as a man who experienced it too well and and for too long, is capable of empathy. He, nevertheless, perfectly understands that Benigno's behaviour is morally wrong and unacceptable. What moved me the most was the moment Marco explains that Benigno is innocent. And he is, because in his little world where real human communication and connection are not possible, he does not do anything wrong. He is innocent because the kind of relationship he has with Alicia is the only one he had ever had.Marco functions more like a reflector of the story, as without him we would be tempted to see Benigno from one light only and consider him a sick man, a psychopath, which he is (but he is other things too). With the difference that seeing him this way is too simple, and nothing is simple, as another character mentions in the film. So, Marco's character directs towards Benigno some sympathy and understanding and encourages viewers to do the same. I liked the way the bits of the story were arranged and the added elements that served to suggest the more unsettling events that were not explicitly shown in the film. All in all, It is truly an accomplished film which draws attention toward the consequences of isolation and dysfunctional family relationships.

GholamSlayer The obsessions of the two men, but especially Benigno, were just plain creepy. He spends the whole movie stalking her, rapes her while unconscious, and the story is a tragedy about him (in part)? Seems like it really misses the point. I understand trying to examine the other side of the story as this does, but it came across as more of an apologist piece for rapists to me.That being said, it was very engaging and well crafted. I just think the message as a whole was off.

samba_blue This film so intensely dehumanizes comatose women and so romanticizes and apologizes for rapists that you see all these nauseating reviews applauding it. People get so sucked in that they are not even realizing what they are watching - the rape of patients in comas. Read that again. This is manipulative filmmaking at it's WORST. Sickening and insulting to abuse victims.

Alexandra Yepes "Talk to Her" shows two parallel stories that are correlated, two lonely men expect a miracle and in that twist of fate their women are in a coma and they should expect them to wake up. The story takes place between the present and past of romantic relationships of two couples. When I saw this movie for the first time, I felt seeing the most beautiful movie I had seen in my life. I had deep feelings for the situations that the characters lived. After the first feeling I wanted to know more of this director's work. I started to see other movies and quickly I realized that I was completely impressed by the work of Almodovar, especially for its complex and unpredictable full of depth and emotion content. "Talk to Her" is a film full of symbolism, colors that remain in memory, music (Caetano Veloso) that makes the imagination and passion fly, passion for life and death. The naturalness of the performances and sensual universe created is simply magnificent. In short, this drama of impossible love, painful memories and beautiful images, is the kind of movie I love to watch and I would love to do. This is a film that invites you to reflect on life and causes a lot of emotions.
