An art piece that, if it were made at a certain time in the 1980s and leaned a lot more prurient would definitely co-star Mickey Rourke, Sweet Talk is a talky two-hander about romance and sexual desire, as played out in a rangy series of conversations over a 12-hour period between a phone sex operator and one of her customers. Billed as “as true as you want it to be” in an opening credits title card, director Terri Hanauer’s well-intentioned actors’ showcase for Natalie Zea and Jeffrey Vincent Parise, a metaphor for finding north on one’s compass, works more in theory than in practice.
