How an Apology Creates a Turning Point in ‘Women Talking’ | Anatomy of a Scene
In this scene from the drama “Women Talking,” the words “I’m sorry” take on tremendous weight.
The film, which is Oscar-nominated in the best picture and adapted screenplay categories, follows a group of women in an isolated religious community who have been the constant victims of sexual assault by men in their compound. The women are faced with a pivotal decision: do nothing, stay and fight the abusers or leave the community altogether.
In this sequence, Mariche (Jessie Buckley) is arguing to stay and fight, but that leads to conflict with Ona (Rooney Mara).
