We Need to Talk

POSITIVES

  • Premise is nice and simple. It's the kind of topic and subject matters that can be genuinely interesting. 

  • Banter. That’s the main crux to what’s supposed to entertain you here. Oh, and to find the conclusion to the reason this movie is called “We Need to Talk.” 

  • While James Maslow carries the movie alright, it’s his interactions with three particular supporting cast; Johnathan Fernandez, Devin Kennedy, and Emily Bett Rickards, that helps keep things interesting and engaging. 

  • Despite the simple nature of the plot, there are some positive themes found in this movie after all. 

  • Fans of the video game “Splitgate” should appreciate this movie a little bit more than others. 

NEGATIVES

  • Lead character is not that likable. I'm watching a whole movie about this guy?! 

  • The dialogue can be a little cringe. Probably even annoying. Plus the humor and jokes just aren't that funny a good chunk of the time. 

  • There's a bunch of dumb unbelievable plot points that I’m disappointed are in this gamer centric story. 

  • Cliché trope about video gamers and the people that don’t understand them. Tired. 

  • Not the biggest production by any means. Probably should have just been a mini-series on YouTube.
