"Actor/filmmaker Sarah Polley marks herself as a major contemporary auteur with WOMEN TALKING, an adaptation of Miriam Toews’ novel about Mennonite women reckoning with abuse in their community. The film is on track to make itself known come Oscar time, with an already award-winning ensemble of some of the most exciting talent working today, including Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley and Ben Wishaw. 'Shows that there is a more feminine, communal and thoughtful way to make studio movies, a vision that is reflected in how beautiful this film turned out.' - Call Sheet 

"A daring experiment in riveting conversation as high drama." - Rogerebert.com

"A one-of-a-kind film." - Los Angeles Times

"Quiet horror at its finest. ‘Skinamarink’ isn’t scary because of what it depicts. It’s scary because it already knows that our imagination will do half of the work." - Rolling Stone
