From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, the powerful and gripping “Women Talking” is coming to home video. Written and directed by Sarah Polley, “Women Talking” is a quietly lacerating drama that explores timely themes of female survival and solidarity. The story is inspired by a true account which makes the film register on an intensely visceral level. Yet it’s also a self-described “act of female imagination” which lets Polley blend more of her own perspective into the story. The results are profound and gut-wrenching. Read my full review of the film HERE.

This Blu-ray / DVD / Digital edition of “Women Talking” hit shelves March 7, 2023. See below for a full synopsis and features breakdown of this brand new combo-pack.
