Women Talking | Film Review

This isn't the kind of thing I would usually watch, but it had this weird position of not really being popular, but also being Oscar-nominated. This intrigued me enough to see it.

When a group of women living in an isolated religious community discover a horrific secret about the men of their community, they have to come together to make a decision - leave, or stay and fight.

'Enjoy' is a weird way to talk about this film, but I definitely found it an interesting watch and think it should be talked about more.

The concept is really interesting, and the main plot is set up really well.

Every performance in the film was incredible. It stars Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Rooney Mara, Frances McDormand and Ben Whishaw, and they were all amazing in their roles.

The film, as the title suggests, is very dialogue-heavy, and it really works. I'm not sure if it has been a play, but if not, it would work really well as one.

It is extremely thought-provoking and allows for conversations to arise, not only within the film, but for those watching. It is incredibly powerful.

While it is probably the least talked-about of the Oscar nominees, it definitely deserves its place.

Overall, this is definitely worth a watch. It's not the most entertaining film you'll ever see, but it'll definitely start a conversation.
