Women Talking was a disappointment to me. I was expecting a roaring, fiery, angry indictment. An indignant statement made, a fist in the air… or barring that, a deeper philosophical or intellectual debate. Something more than we got. The film … Continue reading
I feel like a meanie for not giving this flick at least three stars. It’s so earnest and excitable. But it’s got some slogy bits for a movie that barely hits 80 minutes and its aggressively low budget sometimes gets … Continue reading
