Men & Women: Talking Together (1994)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Movie Rated: Unrated; Genre: Documentary; With: Deborah Tannen and Robert Bly

Quality conversation on provocative topics can provide an amiable, insightful entertainment, as Men & Women: Talking Together, an hour-long sitdown between gender polemicists Deborah Tannen (You Just Don't Understand) and Robert Bly (Iron John) shows. Taped before a live, question-tossing audience at New York City's Cooper Union, the discussion's subjects include male/female conversational rituals, the politics of shame, and comforting as a power device. Maybe you've heard it all before, but never with such clubby charm. B
