Women Talking is based on the novel by Miriam Toews about a sect of Mennonite women discussing taking a stand (or not) against the abuse and sexual attacks they, and now their children, have endured at the hands of the men in the community. While Women Talking is officially not a Canadian film, it is based on a Canadian novel and was shot in and around Toronto from July 19 to September 10, 2021. It has received acclaim from critics, who have praised Polley’s direction, the performances of the cast, screenplay, and score. Sarah Polley received the Telluride Film Festival Silver Medallion tribute award.

Sarah Polley won a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for Women Talking at the 95th annual Academy Awards.
