Sergio Burstein

Los Angeles Times

The majority of the feature demonstrates the capacity of the Phillipou's to be at the service of their characters and for their fabrication of a tense environment that is more and more desperate. [Full review in Spanish]

The Ringer

Talk to Me holds you in its grip until it’s over, but that’s it. On the strength of pure craft and ambition, the Philippous have earned entry into the elevated-horror club; maybe as they grow and develop as directors, they’ll renounce their membership...

Ankit Ojha

Cinema Elite

There are ways and means to push a horror’s lead to its edge, but the writing choices make Mia cripplingly unable to do much to “fight” the antagonistic supernatural forces.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Skinny

The first half is as compelling as it gets, effectively conjuring horrifying images from the underworld and, scarier yet, the troubled souls of the bereaved.

Rated: 4/5
