Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's a misfire, where seemingly every move Lumet made was a misstep."
Washington Post - 6/10 by Paul Attanasio"Garbo Talks" is Lumet's tribute to Zabar's.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeff SSo Sweet and Funny one of my favorite Anne Bancroft films
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen MThis little sleeper has been all but forgotten, except for those fans (like myself) who happened upon it and whose lives have been, forever, changed by it. As a film buff, I have appreciated Garbo Talks for all of its merits, from the basic storyline to the Mr Lumet's direction; from Cy Coleman's score to the nuanced performances of every single actor to grace this gem of a picture. As a New Yorker, I have ESPECIALLY loved this movie because I understand all the quirky weirdnesses and bizarreO characters. One living outside of Manhattan might think of this as a sketch or a farce, as a charicature or a joke; but the truth is that these are the people I see around New York every single day. I also love the location shots that show my city off and tell the world why it is such a marvelous city. Then there is the little matter of all of the great New York actors and personalities that appear in the film: a young Harvey Fierstein, an old Hermione Gingold, stage actor Howard da Silva and stage legend Dorothy Loudon, character actosr Roderick Cook and Steven Hill... And cameos by Adolph Green, Liz Smith, George Plimpton, Cy Coleman and a very special cameo by Betty Comden. This is a NEW YORK movie! Then there is this cast, this wonderful cast, of main characters played by Anne Bancroft, Ron Silver, Carrie Fisher and Catharine Hicks. It is impossible NOT to fall in love with them, even the icky character played by Carrie Fisher. Impossible not to fall in love with them. This is one of the most original storylines ever created and it is executed to perfection by the artists who worked on it. I urge anyone reading this to seek out a copy of the movie on cable or on vhs. It is sadly not available on dvd; and it should be, if only for the scene when Anne Bancroft rides the construction site elevator up to the workers, yelling: "WHO WANTED A GIRL TO SIT ON THEIR FACE??!"
User Review - 8/10 by John SNo one had the ability to deliver a line of dialogue like Anne Bancroft. Words loved her. This is an interesting movie, in the end, about pop culture icons and their constant return in our daily lives. Even the presence of ultra right-wing headcase Ron Silver couldn't spoil Ann Bancroft and her delivery. She was my favorite actress due mostly to her ability to deliver dialogue. I miss her terribly.
User Review - 6/10 by Jessica HLe regard de Sidney Lumet sur C personnages n sombre jamais dans le pathos & offre aux spectateurs une galerie de personnages drôles & touchants. S ajoute à cela une fraà (R)cheur bien agrà (C)able au regard du sujet ki d prime abord semblait en être dà (C)nuà (C).
User Review - 6/10 by Paul ZFlat as a tack - Ron Silver as a leading man is a concept that just doesn't work. I like him as a character actor, though. The film has no energy at all, but it picks up in the final reel, when Anne Bancroft delivers quite a stunning scene all in one take. Very effective, very moving. In fact, the cutting style in the film is quite remarkable - few close-ups, few cuts, everything played out in master shots. I don't know if it's by design, of Lumet just being lazy, though. Oh, and this is probably the only film I've seen with a [i]good[/i] cameo by Harvey Fierstein.
User Review - 4/10 by Erik GDisappointing and boring, which is a shame cause I like Lumet.
User Review - 2/10 by Ashley HGarbo Talks is a disappointing film. It is about the son of a woman dying of a brain tumor tries to fulfill his mother's last wish: to meet Greta Garbo. Anne Bancroft and Ron Silver give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Sidney Lumet did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
