Women Talking (15)
Dir. Sarah Polley, US, 2022, 104 mins. Cast. Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Rooney Mara, Frances McDormand.
Sarah Polley directs a stellar ensemble cast in this deeply compelling adaptation of Miriam Toews's acclaimed novel about a group of young women in a remote religious colony dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault perpetrated by the colony's men.
In a tight-knit, cloistered Mennonite community, a group of women (the hugely gifted cast include Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley and Frances McDormand) gather in a barn to discuss multiple accounts of sexual abuse: do they do nothing (as expected) and forgive their attackers? Do they stay and fight, or leave? Fury, fear, resignation, obedience, hope - each woman expresses a different view...
A ferocious critique of patriarchal oppression, Women Talking ushers us through a journey of rage, grief, wisdom, and hope through to a shattering conclusion.
