Women Talking

2022

★★★★★ Liked 2

Women Talking is so many things, all at the same time, and all of them absolutely stunning. An empathetic epic on an intimate scale. A radical act of female reinvention. And an emotionally enlightening examination of our eternal struggle to (safely) secure our space in the world. Sarah Polley’s delicate direction and sensitive screenplay pair like poetry, while the entire ensemble is so uniformly exceptional that I struggle to single out a favorite performance at the moment - though Claire…

2021

★★★★★ Liked 5

Don’t miss it on Apple TV+ on Friday!

It may lack narrative innovation, and it certainly has its fair share of historical inaccuracies, but it’s still so wondrously well-written, well-acted, and well-directed that I... kind of don’t care in the end?
