WOMEN TALKING ๐Ÿ˜Š

WOMEN TALKING has much to say. It is a harsh, frank, honest discussion about leaving or staying. It โ€œproโ€™s and conโ€™s every aspect of this decision. The women are funny, scared, yet determined. They decide as a group, forged in unity. It is simplyโ€ฆpowerful.ย ย 

I realize not everyone will like this film. It is very โ€œtalky.โ€ But what else does this closed-off group of women have in their lives besides their friendship, work, children, and words? It is how they have survived for so long, especially when the โ€œmen come.โ€ย ย Their reality is not ours by choiceโ€ฆuntil it isnโ€™t. Their faith holds them together.ย 

The strength of this movie lies not only in the โ€œemancipatingโ€ dialogue but also within the amazing ensemble of actresses assembled. Jessieย Buckley, Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Judith Ivey, and Frances McDormand are spectacular in discovering and executing the โ€œbreadth and depthโ€ of their characters. They are able to make the viewers feel every shred of pain, heartache, and love. The final scene is memorable without a syllable uttered. It is rich, visual โ€œcandyโ€ for their souls and ours.ย ย 

WOMEN TALKING is haunting. It speaks to every woman who has been caught in similar circumstances. Their decision is freeing for everyone.ย 

It is playing in theaters.ย
