Next Goal Wins (2023)
This film was wholesome.
It felt a little rushed, and it felt like it oversimplified life on the pacific islands in general, but it was wholesome and sweet.
I’m glad this film exists, and I recommend this for sure, but it had potential to be more than it is.
In my post movie scrolling I came across a 2014 documentary by the same name. This story is a special one, so whether you watch the film or the documentary - it’s one to know for sure.

The entertainment is in the pacing. The writing is superb. Great setup, suspense, new information, escalating stakes, mystery, twists and turns, and an ending that ties everything together.
The only gripe I have is there is no happy ending*.
Talk to Me is a 2022 Australian supernatural horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou and written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman, based on a concept by Daley Pearson. It stars Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio, Marcus Johnson, and Alexandria Steffensen.

Talk to Me (2023)
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Talk to Me has multiple instances of harsh flickering lights at the end of possession scenes. The opening scene shows a severe strobe light being used at a party at night. Emergency vehicle strobe lights illuminate a scene where someone steps into a car in pouring rain.
Handheld cameras are used frequently, with occasional, very brief shaking. There are sudden rolling motions of the camera that follow unnatural contortions of people's bodies.
Flashing Lights: 9/10. Motion Sickness: 4/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: This film deals with bodily possession, and multiple people under the influence of it commit acts of self-harm and suicide attempts, one of which is successful.

Talk to Me (2022)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So spooky. Perfect amount of jumpscares, even though the eye gore was slightly too much for my taste. The lore was amazing and the whole film was well thought out.
It was shocking, disturbing, and tense. I loved it, and I love how certain callbacks were made throughout.
Tremendous ending, and it made me so excited for the sequel.
You should watch this film if:
The premise itself is enough to pique your interest (come on, talking to ghosts through an embalmed hand?)
You love the twisted and recurring themes
You need more A24 horror in your life (spoiler: you do)
Similar titles (I’m not sold on these suggestions yet):
The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror II (specifically the story with the monkey paw)
Insidious (2010) (unrelenting spirits haunting a family)

Talk To Me
Movies watched in 2023
Talk to Me (2022, Australia)
Directors: Danny Philippou & Michael Philippou
Writers: Danny Philippou & Bill Hinzman (based on a concept by Daley Pearson)
Mini-review:
This was basically the buzziest horror movie of the year and, fortunately, it mostly lives up to the hype. Pretty much all the scenes with the hand thingy are incredibly gripping and intense, to the point of giving me a bit of anxiety. Also, I just love how original the whole idea feels. Like, I know we've seen tons and tons of possession movies and stuff like that, but Talk to Me manages to give the genre a twist that feels super refreshing. Kudos must be given to the sound design and the score, which immerse the viewer in the film's world from the very first scene. And the script tends to include moments of very dark humor that made me laugh out loud. Last but not least, I need to commend Sophie Wilde's bravura performance. Tbh, the one complaint I have is that the movie sometimes struggles to keep a steady pace. So, yeah, Talk to Me is a pretty scary and refreshing horror film, and I'm really curious to see where it will go as a franchise.

Talk To Me (2022)
Summary: A group of friends (Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Oris Dhanji, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio) learn how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, and do it over and over again... until one of them (Wilde) goes too far and blurs the line between the real world and spirit world.
Enjoyable concept, excellent practical effects, fleshed-out characters, good cliffhanger ending. Doesn’t explore themes as well as it wants to, however.
Rating: 3.5/5

REview: Talk to Me (2022) | An Auspicious Debut
Danny and Michael Phillippou’s Talk to Me is a remarkable debut for the two Australian filmmakers and while it doesn’t do anything that you haven’t seen before, it does it so well that you don’t notice how familiar it happens to be.
The story revolves around a group of young people who with the use of an embalmed hand (?) are able to enable spirits to temporarily possess them.
This is an aspect…
