Quote:
"The actors [in Women Talking] nimbly maneuver both the old-fashioned formality of the dialogue and the script's swells of anger and loss with striking clarity and mettle. [Claire] Foy painfully illustrates Salome's apoplexy about what was done to her daughter. [Rooney] Mara manages a wistful, dreamy measuredness that can't quite hide the sadness that has descended over Ona's life. [Jessie] Buckley commandingly lashes out in confusion and fury. [Sheila] McCarthy, as an egregiously harmed elder and a guilt-ridden parent, conjures up generations of unspoken violation."
