*12 Angry Women*

***Women Talking*** is a highlight on the power of speech, a conversation about abuse (in all types) and women who are tired of the men who take from them. We are presented with the idea that not all men take (obviously) but all it takes is one bad one and they're not willing to take the risk anymore, something must be done. A group of women with absolutely no education and have never had any contact with the outside world sit and debate on themes of existentialism, patriarchy, faith and question the structure of their isolated world. The conversation is layered and thought provoking and I love that you never find out what year this is set in, as this is a topic that transcends time, unfortunately. The performances are excellent and each character had their moment to shine. The dialogue is sometimes excessive but well-written nonetheless. The color grading is ugly and it's overly dark. It started to feel a little repetitive towards the middle, just felt like they were going around in circles with the conversation. What took me out of it the most was the lack of logic when it comes to the events surrounding the conversation. For directionnal reasons I don't quite comprehend we don't see any of the men in the movie but it creates plot holes everywhere in the story and without any spoilers the ending is absolutely ridiculous because of it. That aside thought, ***Women Talking*** was an interesting and relevant conversation, it just demands people to actually listen.
