How to watch Women Talking: Is the film available to stream online?
Women Talking is a powerful film that was inspired by real-life events.
Women Talking, a drama directed by Sarah Polley about Mennonite women who come together to decide on the next course of action after their religious colony is devastated by sexual violence, has landed in UK cinemas.
The Oscar-nominated film was adapted from a 2018 novel of the same name by Canadian writer Miriam Toews – who was herself raised in a Mennonite colony in Manitoba – and it was based on real events which occurred in Bolivia some years earlier.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com ahead of the film's release, director Sarah Polley said that when she first read Toews's novel she "became captivated by the idea of this as a film and the idea of, could you get the best actors in the world in a room together and have this magnificent conversation that Miriam had crafted?"
With a starry cast that includes the likes of Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley and Rooney Mara, Women Talking is a powerful story that is really, really worth seeing.
