"They made us disbelieve ourselves." So few words made such a huge difference.

[@lilyweatherwaxHRH]

Also known as gaslighting. A universal tactic of abuse.

[@denawagner360]

This is a 5 star flick. Brave as hell. Kudos to Sarah Polley and the entire cast & crew. You made an amazing movie.

[@conradpoos2859]

Incredible film, just amazing

[@kwill84]

One of the best and most important films I’ve seen in a long time.

[@smylesntears2577]

An amazingly powerful film. It’s a modern fable, based on a true story, and it has so many applications today. The actors are each so believable as they portray the anguish of their decision making that each one deserves and Academy Award. (Of course, not one of them was nominated!). Kudos to everyone involved.

[@laurie113]

THANK YOU Ladies. You changed your world. And thank You Sarah Polley for proving women can fight for their lives. I’m proud you are Canadian ❤️🇨🇦

GIRL POWER

[@ChrisMorganComedy]

I never knew Mennonite men were so evil...

[@carolynknight1520]

Listening to Women Talking, feeling the gasps in the movie theatre, recognitions after insight, digesting scene after scenario, brilliantly avoiding retraumatizing in the minds' eye(s): BRILLIANT CINEMA, no mere flick, movie; genre-busting. Kudos Sarah Polley, Cast and Crew. Thank you for your work bringing Miriam Toews' book to the Cinema, and for the ongoing rigour it will induce in viewers down the line!

[@obinwataje]

This is the movie we need right now. In a just world, it would get the Oscar for Best Picture. An instant classic.

[@makmcdermott]

But at least it did win an Oscar for best adapted screenplay

[@PlaceStillMatters]

This film deeply impacted me. I was on a flight to Korea when I first saw it and it was difficult to hide my tears … and the elation of the eventual uplifting decision made by this group of women. A powerful movie of importance, in my opinion.

[@anitachandra2030]

Why hasn't this movie garnered more attention? It's thought provoking.

[@nysunflower9439]

You answered your own question.

[@Itsme_isabelly]

It was nominated for an Oscar. It has garnered attention

[@ronleon62]

Because it sucked.

[@maggiechan33]

An extremely powerful + relevant movie. KUDOS Sarah Polley, Miriam Toews + the Cast.

[@basialaufman6365]

just this short wave, tears in my eyes made my little surprised that I can barely talk to my phone while writing this - thank you for this important movie, & thank u all involved❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@binteboston5685]

I would love to have a transcription of this film. Just so I can savor and highlight the heartfelt dialogues. There is still so much more to discuss❤

[@SheilaRough]

It's based on a book of the same name. Slight changes, as the narrator is August, but still real powerful. The book is based on actual events that took place in a Mennonite colony in Bolivia in early 2000's

[@Achill101]

We saw the movie today. The tension rose towards the end, and I had tears in my eyes for the finale.

[@kaylinlydia]

I saw the documentary about this years ago and have thought about those women often since then.

[@unmellowyellow]

I remember reading an article about the real story this movie is based on…it was horrifying to read.

[@MatthewNewTV]

Guys you need to give this film a proper theatrical release. Not in some random cinemas please

[@susanr5546]

This happens in churches all over our country. Closed communities foster this kind of sexual predation. The perpetrators rarely get prosecuted. Don't start trolling me. I do understand that many church communities would not tolerate this kind of behavior.

[@sackettfamily4685]

You'd be surprised uncomfortable truth isn't given much time in church

[@amberkreitz3388]

like the duggers

[@volantiad]

The older I get, the more I think that these kinds of communities are *designed* for sexual predation. It's not a consequence or side-effect: it is one of the intentions.

[@sights3255kamobrin]

What an impacting Movie ⚘❣

[@nancyhowardKLP]

where can I see just the scene of when August was explaining about pre-teen, teen boys? Not quite men, but not children. Impressionable and subject to peer pressure, finding and exercising their power...

[@Bombadillio]

This looks incredible. This clip was very powerful

[@alexgodman9668]

I'd rather die fighting, than stay alive in fear and disgust. There's no way you can even call that "living"

[@SheilaRough]

Is forgiveness that is forced true forgiveness at all?

[@Christianna73]

Such a gooid movie xox

[@robertamaxwell6813]

Flawless ..Important . Compassionate

[@IdilSkittle]

Its crazy how this is based on a true story...

[@antmagor]

@2:04 “for their own protection.“ It’s never going to not astound me how religion talks a big game against rapists and pedophiles, but will move hell and high water to protect them.

[@antmagor]

@6:01 “it is a part of our faith to forgive those what wrong why not now?” Me: because forgiveness is earned, one has to ask to be forgiven And perform penance to prove that they are actually sorry and not sorry they got caught.

[@yesrelationthesequel]

So good!

[@ayodari_style]

Claire Foy without her accent is so interesting. I’m not used to it!

[@marcelittchu]

Is the scene from the thumbnail in the movie? I swear I have no recollection of it.

[@vvwalker7261]

This is as "based" on a true story as Jada's Cleopatra. The story line has one massive gaping hole - men don't like their mothers/wives/daughters/friends being abused. The fact that all the men are involved it's so incredibly stupid. Whilst the movie is nothing like the actual events, the truth rarely gets in the way of a good story

[@WalterBurton]

Why couldn't each woman cast multiple votes? Seems an oversight.

[@ronleon62]

Terrible movie. Beyond boring.

[@johnappleton9349]

Definitely women talking. Most pointless chatter in the history of cinema. You'll need a drink after if you can sit though this.
