Do nothing. Stay and fight. Or leave. In 2010, the women of an isolated religious community grapple with reconciling a brutal reality with their faith.

Women Talking imagines female emancipation as an honest, raging, caring experience.

This empathy translates to the viewer, and by the cathartic ending scenes it’s impossible not to feel real emotion for this fictional community.

‘Women Talking’ is about as direct as cinema gets in portraying the complexities and nuances of the feminist struggle, and it achieves much with characters who wouldn’t likely consider themselves feminist or revolutionary.
