    My God the movie Women Talking is so so good and also I really wish that I believed that in general abuse could be prevented by just getting rid of/walking away from men. It’s no criticism of the film to say that it doesn’t solve the world. I think it’s just that I see that fantasy so often.

    On the BBC iPlayer, Sarah Polley's Women Talking is a film that, no matter how critics enthuse, audiences seem unwilling to watch. As a critic, I'm astonished how many films resolve around male violence towards women, and this dares to tackle the topic overtly. 5/5 film-authority.com/2025/08/05/w...

    Disgusted to have left Women Talking (2022) off this list. It's the best movie about collective decision making I've ever seen; practically the first scene is them choosing between exit, voice, & loyalty.

    Of all my complicated feelings about the Women Talking movie, what absolutely makes me tear up every time, literally happening now as I type this, is that they preserved August saying goodbye to Salome: "We'll meet again." "We'll meet again." (1/2)

    This @fitwr.bsky.social review of a person catching up with our Women Talking episode is good criticism about how we should let @kateyrich.bsky.social talk more, but I also chuckled remembering "looked like butt" as the color grading/saturation of that movie was...uh...bad.

    There’s so much to like in that SUPERMAN trailer, but the color grade of the film is just bafflingly ugly, maybe the most noticeably misjudged color grades since WOMEN TALKING.

    I assigned the film Women Talking for my "What is Religion" course this semester, and I'm so glad I did. Questions of agency, religion as oppressive tool as well as emancipatory resource, how religion binds and breaks "the social," so many threads to pull on, and such a powerful medium.

    They kept speaking Plautdietsch (low German), dressed more plainly, tended to be farmers. Those colonies have stayed more isolated and some are very conservative and live in more mountainous regions (see: the book/movie Women Talking). Mainstream US and Canadian Mennonites are, well, mainstream.
