The fact that the women's discussion evokes such strong emotions is largely due to a flawless ensemble. All the actors truly perform at their absolute highest level.

It is inspired by real events in a religious Mennonite colony, where men committed systematic abuse on over a hundred women and children.

It is truly a powerful, well-written, well-directed drama that deserves to be seen by many. Clearly another strong contender for one of the best films of 2022.

This is more theater than film. In principle, all the drama lies in the spoken word. So more food for thought than the senses, which does not give a perfect cinema experience.

Just like with the director of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire", Céline Sciamma, you have the feeling that you are resting in the hands of a highly gifted director, one who follows her instinct and calculates with nanometer precision when she describes a specifically feminine experience. It is thought and idea, but also flesh and body.
