1905 Film Network News A few days ago, the MGM new film "Women's Negotiation", starring "Cohen Sister-in-Law" Francis McDormand, announced a number of casts, Claire Foy, Jesse Buckley, Ben Weshao, Judith Ive, Sheila McCarthy, Michelle McLeod. In addition, Rooney Mara, who returned after giving birth, also confirmed joining.
"Women's Negotiations" is based on the bestseller of the same name by Miriam Toews, and Sarah Polly, who has directed "Willow Bank" and "Dancing Waltz", will become the director and screenwriter of the film. The film tells the story of hundreds of women sexually assaulted over the years in a remote religious colony, some of whom learn that they were drugged and attacked by a group of men from their own communities. To protect themselves and their daughters from further harm, the women decided to take steps to try to raise enough money. But they are all illiterate, ignorant of the world outside their communities, and do not even speak the language of their host country. They have little time to choose: whether to stay in the only familiar world or dare to flee.
Published in 2018, the novel was named The Best Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, Slate Magazine, Publishers Weekly, and other authoritative publications.
