Women Talking
Do nothing. Stay & fight. Or leave.
In 2010, 8 women from an isolated religious colony (Mennonites) debate what to do when they discover how they have been unknowingly abused by certain males in their community. This is a tough decision to make as it involves faith, love, children, home, safety, rules they have always lived by, & venturing into the unknown. This powerful film is built around an outstanding cast which includes Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Ben Whishaw, Judith Ivey, & Frances McDormand. Based on true events, this hard-to-watch, sad, & emotional story is about a horrible situation that these women find themselves in, seek answers, & stand up for themselves despite their upbringing.
Alien gives it 3 “daydream believer” stars out of 4.
