Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Zoe Rose Bryant, Josh Parham, Lauren Cohen, Dan Bayer & Nadia Dalimonte. This week we're reviewing the latest film from actress turned director Sarah Polley, "Women Talking" starring Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Sheila McCarthy, Michelle McLeod, Kate Hallett, Liv McNeil, August Winter, Ben Whishaw & Frances McDormand. With a perfect ensemble, some of the most thought-provoking writing of the year, and incredibly beautiful and sensitive direction, the film has established itself as one of the best of the year, propelling Sarah Polley into the Oscar conversation in a major way. What did we think of it, though? Please tune in for our SPOILER-FILLED review as we discuss the much-discussed color grading, writing, performances, Oscar prospects, and more in our review below. Thank you so much for listening! Enjoy, and have a Happy New Year! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
