Popcorn Culture - Stuff We Missed: Women Talking

One of the most critically acclaimed films of 2022, Women Talking was written and directed by Sarah Polley and based on Miriam Toews's 2018 novel of the same name. It features a stacked cast (think Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Frances McDormand), and tells a compelling story of an isolated community talking about guilt, sexual violence, and living alongside perpetrators. We discuss the film's theme, performances, and ultimately, whether it works as a film experience.
