Although Ian Ebright casts a great character actor with a man filled ambition, and obsession, the attempt at any real interlectual debate, the bases of the movie, fall far too short.

The intellect part of people who live and are supposed to thrive in this areana are sadly without substance. Should you be looking for a movie about loss and grief, then go no further, if however you are tempted by the promise of reason and debate, give this one a miss.

An english language movie is more christian apologitics than educational fodder. Nice emotions, thin skins, in keeping with the modern requirement, but slow on mutton.

The Way We Speak delivers an intense emotional journey, as Ian Ebright crafts a deeply affecting story of ambition, guilt, and obsession. The up-and-coming writer's (Patrick Fabian) relentless need to stay in the spotlight, despite his best friend's tragic collapse, spirals into a gripping character study. The film's masterful writing layers complex themes of personal conflict and morality, while the stunning blues and tans of the cinematography create stark contrast, heightening the emotional tension throughout. Each frame is meticulously crafted. The Way We Speak is a powerful, visually striking drama with high ambition.

They truly don't make them like this anymore. Modern filmmakers shy away from big lofty existential questions and rarely approach them earnestly through grounded character exploration. Because it's a tightrope. And even more rarely do they pull this off without pretension and keep it entertaining throughout. The Way We Speak takes place in the world of philosophical debate but plays like a sports movie. And it does this all through the lens of a deeply flawed main character, which adds a nice and dark twist to the seemingly idealistic material. Ultimately about strained relationships and hits super hard emotionally. And it's funny too, did I mention it's funny? This was a treat to watch

And if that's not enough the director Ian Ebright cites Heat as a major influence and the lead Patrick Fabian plays Howard Hamlin in Better Call Saul.

The Way We Speak is an emotional, relatable, and thoughprovoking film. Ian Ebright succeeds in creating characters where we can see ourselves in. The casting was well done with each character being strong, flushed out, delivering truthful perfomances. The cinematography is stunning and consistent throughout the film with relation to space, lighting, and angles. Filming in the PNW creates its own challenges with constantly changing weather. WELL DONE in avoiding inconsistancies in weather patterns that the area throws at filmmakers. Rumor has it that the crew, cast, and local talent was a dream to with. Hope to see more from Ebright in the PNW.

If you care about good writing and strong performances then watch this film. Sharp character study set against a moody aesthetic. Patrick Fabian gets to shine in a whole new way from his Better Call Saul role. This is a the kind of movie that's in short supply these days--- a grown-up drama for thinking people. Themes of grief, envy and ambition but somehow still hopeful. Felt cathartic to watch. The entire cast was great, Kailey Rhodes stood out to me with a particularly nuanced performance. Like all good art, this film made me think and I know I'll watch it again. Feels like one of those movies that you keep discovering things the more you watch it/think about it.
