Фильм және анимация
The team behind WOMEN TALKING in conversation with TIFF in advance of its premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. Frances McDormand, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, and Jessie Buckley star in Sarah Polley’s fearless adaptation of Miriam Toews’ acclaimed novel about a cloistered world where women struggle with an epidemic of abuse.
The 47th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8 to 18, 2022. For more, visit tiff.net.
Oscar-nominated writer-director Sarah Polley’s fearless adaptation of Miriam Toews’ acclaimed novel grants us access to a tight-knit, cloistered religious colony in which women struggle to recover from an epidemic of abuse. Featuring riveting, emotionally complex performances from a stunning ensemble that includes Oscar nominees Rooney Mara and Jessie Buckley and Oscar winner Frances McDormand, Women Talking is a drama of harrowing revelations, fraught alliances, and the search for grace. Reeling from multiple counts of sexual abuse, newly uncovered within their Mennonite colony, a group of women gather in a hayloft to discuss how to respond. While the men are away, the women narrow their options down to three: do nothing, stay and fight, or leave. Some fear that any act of defiance will jeopardize their entry into heaven, while others believe they cannot survive without husbands and sons. Some are willing to take any measures to escape the terror of their domestic lives and insist that “the truth is stronger than the rules.” With her first feature in almost a decade, Polley showcases her unmatched skills as both a screenwriter and a director. The film is at once ferocious in its critique of patriarchal oppression - a critique that clearly extends to our broader, secular culture - while respectful of the beliefs and traditions in which its characters were raised. Though it is suffused with the pain of trauma, a stubborn sense of wonder and quiet joy in community permeate the film. Women Talking ushers us through a journey of rage, grief, wisdom, and hope through to a triumphant, most gratifying conclusion.
Sarah Polley was born in Toronto. Her films Away from Her (06), Take This Waltz (11), and the documentary Stories We Tell (12) all played the Festival. Women Talking (22) is her most recent film.

How Sarah Polley introduced each and every actor with her own words of admiration is so heartwarming. I was smiling all the time. Such a beautiful bond of women.
As someone with a loved one who has indelibly experienced the joys and pain of 20th century Mennonite life on the Canadian prairies, this film is a gift. It moves the ‘Me Too’ debate beyond the exhausting politics, and into the realm of personal. Bottom line for me as a man: who wouldn’t want to defend, protect, uphold a mother, a sister, a wife, a daughter? Beautiful cast, script, director. Awards should flood their way.
Rooney and Claire, two of the three onscreen Lisbeth Salanders together!!!
That look for Sarah is amazing too, she truely looked like a boss that night.
Claire's laugh 😍! Can't wait to see the movie, amazing cast!
Miriam Toews is such a brilliant writer
Is anyone else's mind blown by the AMAZING talent all on that stage? WOW! 😊
to stay and do nothing also takes courage 💔🙌🏽
It will be a tragedy if Jessie Buckley doesn’t win an Oscar for this movie

That’s the human condition, not just Mennonites. My mom was a Mennonite and many of my relatives still are. A lot of pain, but also a lot of love.
