WOMEN TALKING review

Jessie Buckley

The reviews are in for WOMEN TALKING, starring Jessie Buckley. This important film tells the story of a community battered by rape and patriarchal ideas, as a mainly female cast debate the repercussions of the brutality meted out to them. Sarah Polley’s sober, sombre ensemble picture stars Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley and Frances McDormand, among others, as traumatised female members of a remote, patriarchal religious colony, reminding us that the world of Margaret Atwood’s THE HANDMAID’S TALE really does exist more literally than you think.
