    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The movie Women Talking is based on Miriam Toews's 2018 novel of the same name, which was in turn based on a true story of vicious serial rapes in an insular, ultraconservative Mennonite community in Bolivia. From 2005 to 2009, nine men in the Manitoba Colony, using livestock tranquilizers, drugged female victims ranging in age from three to sixty and violently raped them at night. When the girls and women awoke bruised and covered in blood, the men of the colony dismissed their reports as "wild female imagination"--even when they became pregnant from the assaults--or punishments from God or by demons for their supposed sins. According to a May 2019 BBC article by Linda Pressly, when the rapists were finally caught, they were arrested by Bolivian authorities. One fled from justice, but the other eight were tried and convicted. Seven were sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for the repeated, multiple rapes, and an eighth was convicted for providing the drug but then released. As of 2019, the elders of the Manitoba Colony were lobbying for the rapists' releases.
    • Goofs
      Contrary to what the film depicts, Mennonite women ARE literate. Moreover, they teach others as part of their missionary work to read and write. However, it could be argued that in such an isolated community, the men could have decided to make their own rules.

      Ona: Hope for the unknown is good. It is better than hatred of the familiar.

    O how I love Rooney Mara. Sarah Polley has a unique voice
    The majority of the film takes place in a barn, where several women literally talk out loud their issues regarding women's safety, consent, and religious faith. But it doesn't seem boring at all, with interjecting flash-backs that cut to the field for a change of scenes. The premise works well and reminds me of "12 Angry Men". Rooney Mara shines as Ona; she is the queen of humanity. Every actress contributed some heart-felt moments, even the seemingly least likeable character. There is no weak link in this film.

    Even when I missed the opening scene because I was late, this film still touched my heart. Sure the dialogues are heavy, but it's intelligent in its discussion of faith, responsibility, and love. I've never seen Sarah Polley's other work, but this film showcases her skills very well; and if this is the tone and direction she wants to go with, I can't wait to see what she makes in the future.
