"Freedom is good; it is better than slavery. Forgiveness is good; it is better than revenge. And hope of the unknown is good; it is better than hatred of the familiar"
'Women Talking' is a meticulously constructed and masterfully acted drama that has so much relevance and importance even to this day! Quite a daring piece of art that fearlessly speaks of all the systematic oppression and limitless barbarity against women that was previously seen as the 'norm' of a 'thriving' society and civilisation; Shame!
A never-ending pit of intoxicated patriarchy and fragile masculinity that led to unimaginable sufferings for countless women all over the world, back when women were merely regarded as objects of vile desire and violent urges of Men, left in the lurch with their mouths shut and rights and liberty taken away, 'Women Talking' not only shed some light into that dark era but also attempts to scrutinise what exactly had led their path to this unendurable situation.
And I admire how the writing has given space to each values and vision without conspicuously leaning on one specific, singular aspect, and I also happen to admire how the screenplay here balances out all feasible perceptions and comes to a firm resolve by the end, notwithstanding the fact that I was kind of disappointed in the way in which it had drawn the curtains.
P. S. Whilst the entire cast had contributed to the film in quite equal measure, it's Jessie Buckley and Claire Foy, who stood out in my humble opinion, What a tremendously talented pair we've got! Absolute pleasure to see them perform!
