Bill’s film Talk to Me was selected by Atlantic magazine as an “ Unexpected Movie Masterpiece” to watch during lockdown. It’s one of those true “unexpected heroes” stories. Here’s what the magazine had to say:
TALK TO ME (2007, DIRECTED BY KASI LEMMONS)
Kasi Lemmons, whose most recent work is 2019’s Harriet, has long been one of Hollywood’s most criminally unheralded directors, and Talk to Me never got the wide audience it deserved in 2007. It’s a biopic of the controversial Washington, D.C., radio host Petey Greene (Don Cheadle) that’s unafraid to be messy, reflecting its subject’s surprising rise to fame as someone who fearlessly speaks his mind on the social and political issues of the 1970s. The film is grounded by excellent performances from Cheadle, Taraji P. Henson, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Greene’s put-upon manager, Dewey Hughes.
