Plot Synopsis

Women Talking‘s plot synopsis: best-selling book of the same name by Miriam Toews, “‘Stay and fight, or leave. They will not do nothing.’ Set in 2010, the women from an isolated religious community grapple with reconciling their reality in a violent community with their faith.”

More on the film

“When I read Miriam Toews’ book, it sunk deep into me, raising questions and thoughts about the world I live in that I had never articulated. Questions about forgiveness, faith, systems of power, trauma, healing, culpability, community, and self-determination. It also left me bewilderingly hopeful.

I imagined this film in the realm of a fable. While the story in the film is specific to a small religious community, I felt that it needed a large canvas, an epic scope through which to reflect the enormity and universality of the questions raised in the film. To this end, it felt imperative that the visual language of the film breathe and expand. I wanted to feel in every frame the endless potential and possibility contained in a conversation about how to remake a broken world.” –Sarah Polley

Review

FilmBook Writer Thomas Duffy reviewed Women Talking and had this to say about the film:

Polley takes the audience in her grip and doesn’t let the audience go for the entire running time of Women Talking. This is heart-wrenching, thought-provoking filmmaking and Polley, the director and co-writer of the script, must be credited accordingly. There is no time for settling for horrible circumstances for the women in Polley’s film. They must make a stand for better or worse. These are certainly women talking but they are also women who will, without a doubt, act on what they say they will.

On Movie Trailers

“A trailer (also known as a preview or attraction video) is a commercial advertisement, originally for a feature film that is going to be exhibited in the future at a movie theater/cinema. It is a product of creative and technical work…Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of [this advertisement] is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. [This type of ad] has to achieve that in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the maximum length allowed by the MPA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year, if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.”
