I would call Steven Soderbergh's "Let Them All Talk" a movie about how we find out what life is. The protagonists, having not seen each other in a while, join up for a cruise. A lot of the dialogue is free-form, with discussions of the human condition. But there's a surprise in store.
With the presence of Meryl Streep, Dianne Wiest, Candice Bergen and Lucas Hedges, you might take this for a typical piece of Oscar bait. But there's more to it than that. The movie looks at who we are as people, and what it means for our relationships. I wouldn't call the movie a masterpiece, but it felt edifying to watch the movie; far more interesting than the latest movie whose entire plot is Tom Cruise narrowly avoiding all danger.
