The trailer for Sarah Polley’s Women Talking has been released online. The film stars Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Sheila McCarthy, Ben Whishaw and Frances McDormand, and comes to the screen soon.
Polley directs and wrote the screenplay, adapting from the novel by Miriam Toews.
In Women Talking, a group of women, many of whom disagree on essential things, have a conversation to figure out how they might move forward together to build a better world for themselves and their children.
Though the backstory behind the events in Women Talking is violent, the film is not. We never see the violence that the women have experienced. We see only short glimpses of the aftermath. Instead, we watch a community of women come together as they must decide, in a very short space of time, what their collective response will be.
The film will land on screens in the UK from 10th February with stateside audiences able to see the film in December.
Here’s the new trailer.
