Fantastic film. Sarah Polley deserves many nominations and awards for this film, as do the ensemble. Claire Foy and Ben Whishaw deserve best supporting actress and actor nominations. This should be Claire’s year for an Oscar win.

Dear women in this film, thank you for reaching so deep inside to tell this story. As women we must reach out to the world and speak of these horrific acts of terror that so many women recognize as similar experiences in their lives. You are brave and will be remembered always. ☮️

Claire Foy deserves the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!

If you like Sarah pollens writing style I suggest you buy her book run towards the danger. It was a wonderful unforgettable book. She writes with such emotional intelligence and nuance.

Amazing film i was blown away. Great acting great writing, Sarah Polley is an amazing filmmaker.

What I found so profound about this movie is that each woman, despite being illiterate, speak so eloquently about their situation. Judith Ivey, her character speaking that this is the only home she has ever known, yet she knows they must leave to protect themselves and their children, chef's kiss

Great script, outstanding acting, thoughtful, deliberate and masterful. This movie should win an Oscar. It would be a travesty, if not. It is arguably the most important movie nominated!

Claire foy deserves more attention her permormance is phenomenal and an oscar nomination .

The movie is based on a true story. True events that happened and are still happening. It’s set in what’s called a Mennonite Community - a religious (Protestant background to the extreme) community that shuns modern living, that adheres to gender roles, where men make all decisions + are educated but girls are not. For a number of years girls and women would wake up all bruised, bloodied, with semen on them, with their clothes ripped, some with rope still on their wrists and ankles, with flashes of memories of men brutally raping them. Their head would be foggy for days, as a result of having been drugged by a cows pesticide that was sprayed over them as they slept, so that when they did wake up during the rapes they’d be incapacitated to fight back and would be doubting of their own memory the next day. No one had ever shared their experiences. Until one day when two men were caught in the act. This led to a group of women sharing their own experiences. But due to the power and control of their religion and the men, they knew that if they said anything, they’d be excommunicated, shunned. To be shunned also meant that God wouldn’t find them to take them to Heaven, as they’d been told. The men had to leave the village for 24 hours so the women used this opportunity to get together to plan what to do - to stay, to remain silent, to speak out, to fight, to kill if need be, to let the police in on their community and let justice fall where it falls, etc etc. , all whilst grappling with their faith too. Eventually in real life - over 50 men were convicted and each sentenced to 25 years. They’d been raping girls as young as 3 right up to women in their 60’s and older. The women and girls were expected to forgive the men. There are many Mennonites now who are still living this torture and many communities of people, from the Mennonites and everyday folk, who believe the men should be freed from jail if the men say I’m sorry, that they should be forgiven and welcomed back to the community but still banish the women and girls who were raped. @Thundrcat. @Derek Dirk

Burn down the colony. Then, leave. Powerful message. I’ll be watching the film for the first time tomorrow night. We will see what they decide. 🙏 BTW you won’t go to hell for protecting your children.

Congratulations Michelle Yeoh. Have been a fan since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha. My faves are Crazy Rich Asians and Star Trek:Discovery.

If that’s what you were focusing on you didn’t pay attention. This movie actually has an important nuanced discussion on hierarchy and patriarchy and how that benefits few at the cost of many.

Please don't go political and woke again. Be fair and give the awards to everyone who deserves it.

An overplayed message about womens supposed suffering - did I really read that. It is a TRUE story. The Mennonite community, a Protestant community that is of the very old school way, that shuns modern living. A community that for years and years and still to this day, has groups of men in power who choose to drug young girls aged from 3, yes 3 yrs old, little innocent girls right through to much older women in their 60’s and beyond, who are daily and repeatedly drugged as they sleep with a spray of cow pesticide. Then their clothes are torn, their body is brutally raped, leaving them incapacitated to fight off multiple men, leaving them to wake up finding their body is covered in semen, bruises, bleeding vaginally and anally, some with rope still tied on their wrists and ankles… when the girls and women told the head men of the community, they were told that they were Ghost Rapes - raped that happen by ghosts to let you know you haven’t been good, that you must repent, or you won’t get in to heaven. They were told these memories were the devil raping them, that they deserved it or they were crazy thinking these things and that obviously they were imagining such atrocious acts because of overactive imaginations. Knowing that telling about the rapes risked not entering heaven and risked being excommunicated was a big obstacle. It is by no means about “supposed sufferings” as it is indeed about truthful sufferings. Give some thought to if you knew your mom or grandma, or sister or daughter or wife was living these nightmares, I’d hope you would recognise it is true suffering. The community of rapists also raped young boys. Imagine if you were one of those boys at age 4 or age 9 or 16.
