Women Talking

Special pre-screening discussion with critics Eric Hynes and Alissa Wilkinson.

Canadian filmmaker Sarah Polley returns to the director’s chair for the first time in nearly a decade, to adapt Miriam Toews’ novel about a group of women in a Mennonite colony stunned by an outbreak of sexual abuse and struggling

for a path forward while testing the bonds of their faith and families. The all-star cast features Jesse Buckley, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Frances McDormand, and Judith Ivey – an ensemble that delivers powerful and psychologically nuanced performances of women seeking grace amid profound trauma, guided by Polley’s sensitivity and insight.
