But the spirit impersonating her mom convinces her that her dad is actually one of the evil spirits trying to harm her and Mia stabs him.Renee Zellweger delivers one of the best performances of her career in this underrated rom-com, and the centerpiece is an epic monologue that lays out a jaw-dropping twist about the background and motivations of her character, self-help author Barbara Novak. Mia's father eventually ends up showing her her mom's suicide note, which he'd been hiding from her in an attempt to protect her. Sophie Wilde as Mia in Talk to Me Matthew Thorne-A24 ![]() The evil spirit pretending to be her mom tells her that she's right about her not committing suicide and that if Riley dies, she will take care of him on the other side instead of letting him suffer how he is currently. When Mia's dad found her mom's body, she had been clawing at their bedroom door trying to get help, leading Mia to believe that her mom didn't commit suicide and instead took too many pills accidentally. Mia also uses the hand on her own to try to talk to her mom, who died after taking too many sleeping pills. When this doesn't seem to work, Mia asks a spirit to show her the spirit world, where she sees Riley being endlessly tortured by a gruesome, churning mass of lost souls. Mia has the idea to try to close the door on Riley's behalf by lighting the candle, placing the hand in Riley's, saying "talk to him," and then blowing out the candle on her own. To make matters worse, every time Riley comes to, the spirits take hold and try to kill him so they can claim him forever. With Riley catatonic and near death in the hospital, Mia begins experiencing increasingly terrifying encounters with the dead. They finally get the hand away and call emergency services. ![]() Jade rushes back in just in time to throw her hand in between Riley's head and the side of the desk on which the spirit is attempting to deliver the killing blow. As the others fight to wrestle the hand from him, he reaches up and tries to pull out his own eyeball before flying across the room. Suddenly, something shifts and Riley begins violently slamming his head onto the table in front of him. The spirit enters Riley and begins talking to Mia as if it's her late mother, leading Mia to let the possession go on for much longer than 90 seconds. Joe Bird as Riley in Talk to Me Matthew Thorne-A24 With Jade gone, Mia gives in and says that Riley can try it out, but only for 60 seconds. Riley eventually begs for a turn but Jade forbids it before leaving the room. At the next group get-together, everyone takes turns getting high on the thrill of the hand and filming the ghostly encounters for social media. ![]() Mia broke the rules-and now must face the consequences. The group is eventually able to rip the hand from Mia's grasp and she jubilantly emerges from her otherworldly trance. But when Joss (Chris Alosio), the hand's other keeper, tries to pry it away from Mia as the clock approaches 90 seconds, the spirit resists and time goes over. Mia performs the ritual and experiences the unmatched high of possession for the first time, channeling a spirit that takes a particular interest in Riley.
