After-school Special for Grown-ups

This is a sweet, if dated and slightly corny, film about behaviorally oriented stuttering therapy. Austin Pendleton was (and I suppose remains) a real-life stutterer who went through therapy similar to that depicted in the film.

I wish the film had extrapolated more on the therapy techniques used to treat stutterers. A moving and tearful speech made by Dan Shor's character Julian near the end would have been even more effective if we had seen some of his breakthroughs. But for a low-budget venture produced by the Hollins Communications Research Institute--a mirror image of the institute depicted in the film--Talk to Me serves as a touching and educational account of stuttering therapy in the early 80's.

I certainly am a bit biased in this review as I worked on this film. The film is a heart warming film about the struggle of a group of people overcoming their stuttering at the Hollins College Research Institute in Roanoke Virginia. Their story is the story of countless participants who attempt to overcome stuttering difficulties. Austin Pendleton portrays himself in many ways to overcome his own personal challenges with speech. He remains on Boards at Stuttering Organizations. He influences many in their struggle. If you wish to inspire someone who needs help this film can offer that, but is difficult to find except on VHS. If you have seen him in Short Circuit, My Cousin Vinny, and many other films his acting always fills the story well.
