If you loved Talk to Me, try Eve's Bayou
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kasi Lemmons, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Talk to Me, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Eve's Bayou is
Rebecca without the gothic. A well-to-do Black family in 1960s Louisiana comes undone after a child catches her philandering father in the act. This debut feature lingers in humid memory, with gorgeous work from Debbi Morgan.
