Let Them All Talk (2020)

Information

Thorkell
Steven Soderbergh is one of the most interesting directors out there. He is willing to take chances, experiment and push himself creatively. This was filmed on only 8 days. They only had outlines of what would happen. All the dialog was improvised. What we end up with is something that reminds me of late Robert Altman. Not in style but thematically and emotionally. This is a simple film on the surface but if you stop and allow yourself to think about what just happened you realize that you did not only witness a slice of life, you also saw something profound about the mystery and meaning of creativity. Sadly most people will rush to judgment and miss the beauty in this fragile and beautiful film. 3 years 4 months ago

Really great performances from most of the cast, especially knowing the dialog was improvised.
Ultimately though, the movie could have used a more solid script that gave the actors more to play with... and a director who was more self-effacing than Soderbergh is capable of being.
The overbearing music and unnecessary choppy editing seem to scream "I'm HERE!" when really, less would have been more with the cast left as much room as possible to convey what was needed. 2 years 11 months ago
