Airdate: Let Them All Talk

2020 Steven Soderbergh film Let Them All Talk will premiere in Australia on Foxtel on Sunday, by-passing a cinema release.

The film stars Meryl Streep, Candice Bergen and Dianne Wiest. According to Wikipedia, much of the dialogue was improvised by the cast, and Soderbergh shot the film using natural light and little equipment aboard the Queen Mary 2.

The film was released in the US through HBO Max in December.

Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh, Let Them All Talk follows celebrated novelist Alice Hughes (Meryl Streep) and her two oldest friends, Roberta (Candice Bergen) and Susan (Dianne Wiest), on a momentous journey aboard an ocean liner to England, where Alice is due to accept a prestigious literary award.

While Alice attempts to restore the bond she once had with her college mates, her nephew Tyler (Lucas Hedges) – in attendance to keep an eye on the bunch – becomes attached to Alice’s new agent, Karen (Gemma Chan), who’s snuck onto the ship to confer with her client.

As the women reminisce and air old grievances with banter and bite, Alice harbors serious doubts about her much-anticipated next manuscript – and keeps the particulars of her personal life close to the chest.

Sunday, February 7 at 8.30pm on Foxtel Movies Premiere.
