What is the Release Date of Women Talking?
With the development of direct-to-streaming movies, it is often a topic of contention whether a film will be released in theatres or not. Unfortunately, it is usual for films that are strong contenders for awards season to have a theatrical release.
Women Talking is one of these films, and it will be released in select theatres in the United States on December 2, 2022. The film will be released in stages around the world, with Canadians seeing it on December 16, British audiences getting it on February 10, 2023, and French audiences getting it on March 8, 2023.
There is no word on whether the film will eventually be available on streaming platforms; however, because the film's distributor is owned by Amazon, the picture will most certainly be available on Prime Video by early next year.

What is the Plot of Women Talking?
The book by Miriam Toews with the same name was turned into a screenplay. Both the book and the movie will talk about sensitive topics like religion and se*ual abuse, so people should be careful before watching the movie because some of the topics could be very upsetting.
The movie will tell the story of a group of Mennonite women who have realized that men in their community have drugged and abused them. These women are part of an organization for them. As the story goes on, the women will have to fight to keep their faith in spite of what they find out.
Critics at film festivals have praised Sarah Polley's (Dawn of the Dead) direction and screenplay so far. Polley has spent more time in front of the camera than behind it so far in her career.
In fact, the movie got so much praise that it came in second place at the Toronto International Film Festival for the People's Choice Award. Sarah Polley is also one of the favorites to win Best Director at next year's Academy Awards. If she does win, she would be only the fourth woman to do so since the Oscars started in 1929.
