    Talk to Her (2002) Review: Devotion Without a Reply

    Talk to Her is Pedro Almodóvar's Oscar-winning drama about two men caring for women in comas, a tender, daring and deeply unsettling study of love and obsession.

    Yes. It is one of Almodóvar's masterpieces, essential for lovers of adult drama, though its morally troubling subject will be too uncomfortable for some viewers.
