A Streaming Guide to Watching Sarah Polley's Women Talking (ELLE.com)

Based on Miriam Toews' acclaimed book, 'Women Talking' is a 2023 Best Picture nominee. Here's how and when to watch online.

As the film is currently still in theaters, there’s no means of watching Women Talking online just yet. Or do they ignore the horrific violence inflicted upon them, and try to forgive and forget? Crafted with a tender but unflinching touch by Polley—also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay—the film is a faithful, courageous re-telling of Miriam Toews’ 2018 book of the same name.

“Women Talking” centers around an isolated Mennonite community that has had a series of violent sexual attacks come to light. When the menfolk of the community ...

In this, Polley manages to make the themes of the movie feel universal. When the menfolk of the community leave to bail out a man in jail, it gives the women time to come together to process the brutality done to them and discuss what their options are: do nothing, stay and fight or leave. Upon seeing the costumes in “Women Talking,” I assumed that it was a period piece, perhaps set sometime in the 19th century.

Straight 'Women Talking' - Book and Film Globe (Book and Film Globe)

Director/screenwriter Sarah Polley has done it again: a Socratic turn upon the unspeakable in her Oscar-nominated film, “Women Talking.” Polley casts her.

We know no matter what the refugees do, they are reeling, and it leaves a thirst for a reckoning in the audience’s expectations. The rest of the men follow along in their horses and buggies to bail the perps out. The movie loses its way in the silences, the watchful moments between the words. The church leaders give the womenfolk a whole two days to clean up the mess and forgive them. The aftermath of the real Manitoba Colony revealed all this to be true—the movie missed its chance. The brethren’s actions destroyed the mother and her daughters, including her toddler. Satan visited you in the night to punish you for your sins. In the film, we see “the morning after.“ The women and girls— from toddlers to teens to crones— wake up mornings as if stunned by a club. And it quickly inspired one of Canada’s greatest authors, Miriam Toews, herself raised in the Ukrainian Mennonite community of the Manitoba province, to write a novel of how the survivors contemplated their next steps. The action proceeds in the manner of a play, set high in a hay loft, rather than a sweaty jury room. The cast is electric. The women are seeking justice.

Movie Review: 'Women Talking' is Lacking the Right Director (InSession Film)

Director: Sarah Polley. Writers: Sarah Polley and Miriam Toews. Stars: Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley. Synopsis: Do nothing. Stay and fight.

Although the premise of the film does have tremendous potential, in the end, Women Talking does little to deliver on that opportunity. Polley also doesn’t show the faces of the men in the village, which is an effective way to separate them from the women in the film. While the novel focuses on solely the discussions of the women, the film could have provided more content to fully understand the lives of these women, as is the advantage of the cinema form. What the film (based on the novel of the same name by Miriam Toews) focuses on is the aftermath, the women deciding what to do. The entire film Women Talking is made up of these women debating, discussing, and planning. The standout in the film is Claire Foy, who plays Salome.
