“A riveting look at the life of legendary DJ "Petey" Greene, Talk to Me goes beyond the typical biopic with explosive performances from Don Cheadle and Chiwetal Ejiofor.”

Don Cheadle brings sharp humor and deep passion to his portrayal of the Washington, D.C., disk jockey and talk-show host Petey Greene in this historically vital and acute bio-pic...

It's a visually and aurally riveting trip to an important time from a perspective few here will know, about a person worth meeting.

A stronger screenplay and more sensitive direction would have made this movie into something far more genuinely uplifting than it is.
