Judith Ivey and Sheila McCarthy tell us all about working with Sarah Polley and the humor of Ruth & Cheryl in WomenTalking ...
Based on the novel by Miriam Toews, Women Talking is a powerful film by Sarah Polley that centers around an isolated Mennonite colony. When it’s revealed that the men of the community have been abusing the women for years, they meet in a barn to decide what they’re going to do: stay and do nothing, stay and fight, or leave and start anew somewhere else.
SHEILA McCARTHY: I think as the elders, we were both – Greta and Agata – were, I think, may I say, slightly more concerned about our children and our grandchildren who experienced the abuse. And so in coddling them and taking care of them and making sure…showing great empathy to them, it helped us. Certainly, I felt that way about Greta.
McCARTHY: Under the tutelage of Sarah Polley, she’s just an incredible director who gives you permission and created such a safety net for those very difficult scenes. Also working with Jessie Buckley was amazing. I was a dancer my whole life, and I like to do things always the same way, and Jessie’s the exact opposite. Not that we were improvising, but that scene was very fluid, and it changed.
Yeah, I think the comedy makes the darker stuff even more impactful, in a way. The younger members have spoken a lot about what they learned from the veterans on the set. I’m curious if there’s anything you feel like you took from watching them.McCARTHY: They’re so open. We were not at all…I mean – it’s harder for us, I think, in a weird way.
McCARTHY: I think I’d jump to Ben Whishaw’s character, August. Maybe similar to Greta, I love his part.
