Women Talking

❝We're women without a voice. We have nothing to return to. Even the animals are safer in their homes than we women are. All we have are our dreams. So of course we are dreamers.❞ · · ────── •⊰✧⊱• ────── · · Before watching Women Talking, I had a look at some of the reviews. And after I finished the film, I revisited the reviews, and I wanted to cry; there were so many trivialising the content and focusing on the colour grading instead. To that I say, sexual assault is ugly. There's no way around it, and the film reflects that ugliness. It doesn't have to be beautiful to be taken seriously. And while a film centered around conversations in a barn may sound boring, it was far from it. The women of the colony broached ideas that, unfortunately, are still being discussed today – to see the women gain their autonomy and realise the true danger they were in was simultaneously awe-inspiring and depressing, because although they were able to realise their worth, it came at a very twisted cost. I thought every single actor in the cast was excellent at portraying their respective characters, and I won't lie, I sobbed quite a bit throughout the film. I did a bit of research into the real-life case, and it sickened me. No-one should have to go through what those women and girls suffered, and what really twisted the knife further was this sentence: 'The youngest victim was three years old, the oldest was 65.' What kind of deranged sickos would do something like this? I hope to the bottom of my heart that the perpetrators rot in hell, and that the women are safe and getting to live their lives properly.

i had put this one off only due to the fact i don’t particularly like period pieces. shocked to find out this was 2010 but whatever. this is a heavy film. a very strong emotional pull on the audience. possibly one of the most emotional films nominated at the oscar’s this year. i’m thinking that the pg-13 rating was a little generous. while there is so sexual scenes, the topic of sexual abuse is the main issue at hand and is described in detail. i also thought that claire foy was going to be standout but i was happy when all of the women gave equally powerful performances. this has potential but i don’t believe it will best picture.
