Women Talking

Even though it’s a Spartan approach to filmmaking, Women Talking never fails to slap you awake.

Women Talking is a tough-minded yet sensitive film that could pose a bit of a challenge for some audiences.

If you can go along with these broad brushstrokes and consequent holes in the plot, you’ll find high drama in Foy and Buckley’s ferociously fine performances, together with moments of wistful poetry...

It breaks free of the bleak narratives that have boxed in cinema’s rape victims over and over again. At the very least, it’s something we haven’t seen before.

A tale that is at once timely and timeless.

It’s heavy material, and it might have sunk the movie had Polley not buoyed it with such a knockout cast.

We get the rare opportunity to see a glimpse into the world of survivors, to empathize and sympathize with those harmed -- and more importantly, to witness them process their faith amid spiritual manipulation.

a great achievement in dramatizing both the power of words and the resilience of victims to throw off the shackles of their oppression and choose a different path

A daring film executed with mature sobriety. [Full review in Spanish]

I can’t figure out what this movie was trying to do.
