Yes. The movie is very creepy, scary and very violent.

The story is quite unique and different from other horror movies.

I need to see it, then. I've been looking for good horror movies.

Thanks very much for this good and thoughtful answer!


I just have one thought:


I think that many women (including director/screenwriter Greta Gerwig and producer/star Margot Robbie) would tell you that we do live in a patriarchy world and that too many men, including well-meaning guys like us, simply don't understand that. I think that's one of the main points of the movie.

Sure, our patriarchy in North America isn't anywhere near as severe as, say, Afghanistan under the Taliban, but it is there.

It's like how so many straight people don't understand why we'd want a Gay Pride week or month (and some think they should have a Straight Pride Month). Well over 90% of the world is straight (and a good number of the remaining ones who aren't straight pretend they are). The entire world we live in is about straight people, and most straight people can't see that any more than fish can see the water they swim in or we're aware of the air we live in before people teach us when we're children that it's there.

Part of the movie's point is to demonstrate, through big, exaggerated, fun satire, that the patriarchy really is there -- and, especially, to let women know that no, they're not crazy or imagining things; yes, the patriarchy is there; and yes, it's unfair and you're not wrong to feel that way. (Remember, women are constantly getting messages to the contrary of that, and a lot of men don't even realize those messages are there.)

Thank you for educating me. Thank you.

Well, I think that you won't be disappointed with "Talk to Me".

The acting is very good.

One of the reasons that I find the movie to be scary is because some scenes are quite traumatic and violence.

The violence and gore will definitely shock you.

And the ending will surprise you too.

Smile (2022)

"After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an uncanny entity."

If you enjoyed watching "Smile", then you may also enjoy watching "Talk to Me".

Although I think that "Talk to Me" is definitely more scary and frightening than "Smile".

Just saw Oppenheimer. Was really good. Very interesting story and introduced a lot of people who I knew very little about so it was very interesting to see and then go down a wiki rabbit hole to learn more
