Review of Women Talking (2022) by Bertobellamy — 06 Mar 2023
¿Leave, remain silent, or stay and fight? The film's conflict mirrors the choice every woman who has experienced abuse must make after it. 'Women Talking' unfolds like a play, and Sarah Polley does a stellar job by making every line feel urgent or poetic.
Through a series of tragic conversations, the film exposes different points of view and a full range of emotions about the consequences of the attacks. But everything gets more complicated when faith is involved.
How to proceed when eternal salvation is also at stake? The choice gets more difficult. Somehow, inside this tragic and nefarious story, Polley and writer Miriam Toews — who appeared in Carlos Reygadas' 'Silent Light' — have found the most beautiful thing: sorority as a way to resist.
