Women Talking
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay! Famed writer-director Sarah Polley returns with her first film in more than a decade, in this riveting adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Manitoban writer Miriam Toews. A group of women in an isolated Mennonite religious colony in Bolivia struggle to reconcile their faith after a string of sexual assaults committed by the colony’s men. With a phenomenal ensemble led by Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, and Frances McDormand, this finely crafted chamber piece addresses timely issues in a way few films ever depict, and on such hopeful terms.
