Women Talking

An absolutely gorgeous film. So powerful, even in its most raw moments. This was perfectly cast, beautifully shot, and will remain a long-time favorite.

Probably would have been more effective as a play as you wouldn't lose the wonderful tension of the barn scenes and would be able to let the characters have a little more definition.

How does this drivel get greenlit, let alone get rave reviews by critics and award boards?

It's not a movie, it's a 2 hour lecture. One of the most laughable pieces of fiction I've ever seen.

I stopped and rewatched segments cause they were so beautifully scripted and interpreted. Difficult topic but ultimately uplifting so don't let that hold you back from watching it.

This was without a doubt one of the most meaningless movies I've ever watched. I really tried hard to finish the movie but couldn't.

Amazing performances! Beautifully depicted! Good adaptation of the novel. Definitely worth reading!

One of the best movies I have ever had the honor of seeing.

This devastatingly beautiful film won the 2023 Oscar for best writing - adapted screenplay, and rightfully so. You'll want to rewind several times so you can fully process the words and concepts revolving around forgiveness, gender roles, faith and violence. It takes a while to delineate between the characters, and that may be intentional on writer/director Sarah Polley's part. At first, the women seem like a homogenous mass, but then individuals begin to rise up in the conversation. The lone man with any dialogue - August played by the wonderful Ben Whishaw - rescues the film from being a tirade against men. This is a movie worth rewatching many times.

It was one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking movies I've seen in the last 10 years.
