With a great acting ensemble and powerful script, Sarah Polley's WomenTalking is a must-see movie for anyone who likes a good drama.
Women Talking review: speaking truth to power Score Details “While Sarah Polley's Women Talking has its flaws, its terrific acting and resonant script make it the first must-see movie of 2023.” Pros Cons Women Talking has to have one of the most honest titles in motion picture industry. There are women talking to, for, and about one another — often friendly, but sometimes not — and what they talk about for 104 minutes is nothing short of enthralling.
With the assailant imprisoned for his crime in a distant secular jail, the Mennonite men leave the community to bail him out, giving the women a rare opportunity to assemble and weigh their options: do nothing and turn a blind eye to the abuse, stay and fight for the land and family they have cultivated over the years, or leave to find a new home.
There’s also August , the lone male of the group, who is there to take the minutes of the meeting and serves as a potential love interest for Ona. Some of these characters are related to each other. while some loathe one another. All are united, though, by a common desire to talk through their current situation and weigh the pros and cons of each choice.
As Mariche, Buckley is simply outstanding, using her character’s sarcasm to mask deep wounds that are reluctantly revealed toward the end of the movie. And Whishaw turns in a heartbreaking performance as August, whose love for Ona is exceeded only by an internal sadness that pops up in the climax. All of these actors work in beautiful harmony with one another, creating a sense of authentic community that helps sell the high stakes at hand.
