Based on the 2018 novel by Miriam Toews of the same name, which was in turn based upon actual events in an insular, ultra-conservative Mennonite community in Bolivia from 2005 to 2009, Women Talking features the story of the women who came together in a barn, in secret, to reconcile their faith with a brutal reality. What to do . . . stay and fight, leave, or do nothing?
Starring: Claire Foy, Emily Mitchell, Frances McDormand, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Kate Hallett, Liv McNeil, Michelle McLeod, Rooney Mara, Sheila McCarthy
“Self-assured, brimming with conviction and intellectually demanding – Women Talking is what cinema should be about.” (Martin Carr, We Got This Covered)
“Hard as it might be to imagine, Women Talking is an upbeat and propulsive film cut with a sharp wit and a ready sense of humor, even if its characters are often laughing as hard as they wish they could cry.” (David Ehrlich, IndieWire)
