Talk to Me
Featuring a standout performance from Don Cheadle, Talk To Me offers a powerful account of outspoken media figure Ralph 'Petey' Greene. A former convict turned Washington DJ, Greene (Cheadle, Ocean's Eleven, Crash) talked his way onto the airwaves and emboldened by soul music became a figure of hope for the black community. Also featuring a powerful turn from Chiwetel Ejiofor (Inside Man) as Greene's harrassed producer, the film expertly balances the comedy and tragedy of its inspirational subject's life.
