Could Sarah Polley become the fourth female filmmaker to win an Oscar for directing? Based on the rapturous reception that “Women Talking” received at the Telluride Film Festival on Friday, it certainly seems possible.
Even if that doesn’t happen, the ambitious film, a drama about a group of women in a tight-knit religious community grappling with a legacy of abuse, has put a stake in the ground as the festival’s first slam dunk best picture candidate. In fact, I think it’s going to be a contender across the board.
God bless the awards team whose job it is to get any of the outstanding actors in this film nominated, because there’s an overabundance of compelling performances that merit recognition. Jessie Buckley, fresh off her first nom for “The Lost Daughter,” and Claire Foy, still looking for retribution for her unjustly ignored turn in “First Man,” may be the strongest contenders. They have some of the film’s most memorable lines and convey the mounting rage felt by the characters in the movie over the way the male leaders of their sect dismissed their allegations of abuse.
Rooney Mara, her character beaming with positivity despite the horrors she’s endured, delivers her best outing since “Carol” . If there’s any cast member that can campaign in the leading category, she could be it, which would help make room for some of the other candidates.. That’s Ben Whishaw, the stage and screen star who is best known for playing Q in the James Bond series, who gets one of the best roles of his career as a sensitive schoolteacher ally of the women.
