The movie 'Women Talking' tells the story of sexual abuse in a religious community and what was finally done about it.
Not So Brief Plot Synopsis:
is a searing tale that deftly uses the point of view of a subculture alien to many of us to examine wider issues of how any society responds to the mistreatment of women.Women Talking Of course, it doesn't hurt if your cast includes the likes of Frances McDormand, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Rooney Mara and Judith Ivey. All of them are powerful enough actors to carry a film, but put together in what almost amounts to a single location film, the results are wondrous.
Men are understandably mostly on the periphery, the exceptions being August , a timid teacher, and the male-identifying Melvin . The absence of the other men, who are away on colony business, only confers greater tension on the proceedings, whose return is the deadline the women are up against. The tension is augmented by the great Hildur Guðnadóttir's sparse score and Luc Montpellier's washed out cinematography.
