Sarah Polley's 'Women Talking' not only has one of the best casts and screenplays of the year, but it's also one of the most captivating films of 2022. Our TIFF22 review:
From the very opening of Women Talking, the first film from Sarah Polley since 2012’s Stories We Tell, it’s clear the world of this movie isn’t right. The colors are muted, almost faded, like a memory half-remembered. During a screening of the film at TIFF, Polley stated that the powerful cinematography from Luc Montpellier represented a time long past, almost like the movie we’re about to see is already a memory.
Women Talking begins with a character saying that “this story ends before you were born,” hinting that there is a future for the next generation, despite how bleak this story can become at times. While Polley herself states that Women Talking is supposed to make this feel like the past, it’s also horribly disappointing just how prescient this story remains.
