Critics Consensus

While Women Talking sometimes forsakes entertaining drama in favor of simply getting its points across, its message is valuable -- and effectively delivered.

Women Talking is a tough-minded yet sensitive film that could pose a bit of a challenge for some audiences.

Sydney Morning Herald

If you can go along with these broad brushstrokes and consequent holes in the plot, you’ll find high drama in Foy and Buckley’s ferociously fine performances, together with moments of wistful poetry...

Rated: 4/5

In Their Own League

Powerful, sensitive, and open-minded, it is a phenomenal picture that is more than deserving of its award buzz.

Rated: 5/5

Polley's film holds space, and, most of all, urges all in the audience to lean in and face, without filter or metaphor, the truth.

I really didn't know what to expect from this film. The subject alone had me nervous but it turned out to be a very interesting and intimate watch. The slow pace and exuberant amount of dialogue might be a negative to some but I thought it was really good.

probably done better as a stage show. it definitely was an entire movie of women talking--about if or how they should stand up for themselves, and where forgiveness falls in there. if there was a greater message, it was lost on me. nothing inspiring about costume/setting.

Pacing, allegory, and how the faith wasnt criticized- only the human situation.

Exceptional storytelling. The script, the performances, the music and the editing all exceptionally directed to create a movie going experience that surpasses all the films I have seen in the past twelve months with the exception of All Quiet on the Western Front.
