HBO Max is finally giving us a good look atSteven Soderbergh’sLet Them All Talkwith an official trailer. Soderbergh fans got a brief glimpse of his new movie when a few clips were included in ahighlight reel of upcoming HBO Maxcontent back in July.Let Them All TalkstarsMeryl Streep,Dianne Wiest,Candice Bergen,Lucas Hedges, andGemma Chanand, as we recently learned,is entirely improvised.Let Them All Talkalso marks Soderbergh’s notable streamer jump following a mini-streak over on Netflix with 2019’sHigh Flying BirdandThe Laundromat.
Let Them All Talkseems to be much lighter fare than Soderbergh’s last two films and boy, I amready. Written byDeborah Eisenberg,Let Them All Talkfollows a high-profile author (Streep) who goes on a girls' trip with her two close friends (Wiest and Bergen). The author’s nephew (Hedges) also tags along and ultimately becomes enmeshed with the drama unfolding between the trio of friends. And, as if this bunch wasn’t lively enough, the author’s literary agent (Chan), will also figure into this tale.
TheLet Them All Talktrailer reminds me why I love Soderbergh. Yes, he’s a skilled director of a heavier, more intensive story, but he also knows how to handle lighter, looser fare, too.Let Them All Talkis definitely in the latter camp. The emphasis on camaraderie, hanging out, having fun, and just seeing where the conversation goes hearkens back to theOcean’s Elevendays and I will never say no to that. Plus, the chance to watch Streep, Wiest, and Bergen work together onscreen is an enticing draw. Knowing this veteran trio was allowed to improvise and help mold the story with their respective skills as actors means we’ll get to have some real fun with them over the course ofLet Them All Talk’s runtime.
Let Them All Talkarrives on HBO Max on Thursday, December 10. Watch the official trailer below. Get even more HBO Max updateshere.
