For THR, the auteur annotates pages from her Oscar-nominated screenplay highlighting the emotional fulcrum of her adaptation of Miriam Toews’ novel — about a group of women in an orthodox religious community.
Mariche is still in a marriage where she’s actively abused daily. “It was really important for her to be able to say, ‘I’m facing judgment for staying in something that you are giving me no choice to leave,’ ” says Polley. “There is a problem, in terms of communities of women judging other people for not leaving violent situations, instead of understanding how much is stacked against them. Obviously, we all want everyone we love to leave a violent situation.
Polley’s script evolved extensively throughout filmmaking, which meant that lines like “All of us have been infected by a poisoned way of thinking,” “And so you have judged me” and “And that you should not be required to forgive any longer” all ended up on the cutting-room floor. “Turns out, the audience probably gets that,” Polley explains.
