He’s a self-conscious but sharp 22-year-old who graduated from Harvard College last year, an economics concentrator and a huge fan of punk rock and roller coasters.

(Boomers are turning 50, the typical age of motor-home buyers, at a rate of 350,000 each month.)

The film manages, paradoxically, to be both sloppily edited and deadeningly self-conscious. As it progresses, the audience is slowly but surely ushered into a stupor very closely resembling that of the coma victim at the story’s inane center. Winner of this year’s Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Talk to Her screens...
