Christina Newland iNews.co.uk It makes salient points about the power of debate and women's voices; Polley's intelligence and sensitivity are vital traits even as the visual components of the movie remain frustratingly inferior. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Even though it’s a Spartan approach to filmmaking, Women Talking never fails to slap you awake. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 20, 2023 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Women Talking is a tough-minded yet sensitive film that could pose a bit of a challenge for some audiences. Rated: 4/5 Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) While the novel was inspired by real events that occurred in a Bolivian colony, the film takes place in a rural and isolated community where the women, tired of patriarchal oppression, try to reconcile their desire for freedom with their religious beliefs Rated: 9/10 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Women Talking is powerful and strikes emotional chords exactly where and when it needs to. Rated: 4/5 Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League Powerful, sensitive, and open-minded, it is a phenomenal picture that is more than deserving of its award buzz. Rated: 5/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Barbara C boring. no acting. Just a bunch of women sitting in a barn talking....... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Brandon O I really didn't know what to expect from this film. The subject alone had me nervous but it turned out to be a very interesting and intimate watch. The slow pace and exuberant amount of dialogue might be a negative to some but I thought it was really good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review Barbara J M Great acting and the storyline Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review rocktrim probably done better as a stage show. it definitely was an entire movie of women talking--about if or how they should stand up for themselves, and where forgiveness falls in there. if there was a greater message, it was lost on me. nothing inspiring about costume/setting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Sara D Excellent acting and dialogue and photography ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Catherine Pacing, allegory, and how the faith wasnt criticized- only the human situation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
