Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- David “DC” Bolling @ Film Yap
- Excerpt: Polley requires your attention for a self-contained, dialogue-driven story compelled by ideas of faith, the future and change. But it’s a film carried by a strong ensemble, especially from Foy and Buckley.
- [New] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A parabolic drama, about a group of abused women discussing how they will respond to their abusers, that demonstrates how conversation can lead to change.
- Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: Women Talking’ is a masterful achievement of writing and acting
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: The dynamics between the women becomes the emotional equivalent of an action film.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …the film sets up its main characters as specific types…and uses them to feed those emotional viewpoints into a debate which eventually becomes repetitive.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: The subject matter is dealt with in a manner that both underlines its effects, while never explicitly describing the scenes.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Actions speak louder than words.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: WOMEN TALKING is set in an anti-feminist world, but it is not a future dystopia and it is based on a real-life Mennonite colony in Bolivia in from 2005 to 2009.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Women Talking is a well-written and well-directed feature. Sarah Polley has crafted a beautiful story of religion, abuse, healing, and female empowerment.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: An intelligent, provocative work that transcends the stagey nature of the material.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It may just be eight women and their minutes-taker arguing in one room for the duration, but it’s the most dynamic and tense film I’ve seen all year. Foy is a force of nature.
- Rick Aragon Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews [Rick Aragon]
- Excerpt: The limited setting, the somewhat theatrical nature of the performances all conspired to make Women Talking a filmed play.
- Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: The real magic of Women Talking is in exactly that. The film blossoms as these women do nothing more than talk.
- James Wegg @ JWR
- Excerpt: What’s a girl to do?
