"We hardly knew how to read o to write, but that day, we learned how to vote." MGM / UA have unveiled a second official trailer for Women Talking, the acclaimed new film from writer / director Sarah Polley (Away From Her, Take This Waltz). After premiering at fall festivals and earning many awards nominations so far, it's opening in select theaters this December - before a wide release in January. Based on the book of the same name, this is about a group of women from an isolated religious community who come together to discuss their situation and grapple with their faith. "Do nothing. Stay and fight. Or leave." These are are the three choices they must debate and decide upon together. The film stars Rooney Mara as Ona, Claire Foy as Salome, Jessie Buckley as Mariche, Ben Whishaw as Augus, Frances McDormand as Scarface Janz, Judith Ivey as Agata, Sheila McCarthy as Greta, and Michelle McLeod as Mejal. I had a chance to see this, and it really got me - there are many very compelling, thought-provoking conversations in here.

Here's the second official trailer (+ new poster) for Sarah Polley's Women Talking, from YouTube:
