Michelle McLeod, Liv McNeil, and Kate Hallett discuss the portrayal of mental health in WomenTalking.
Based on the novel by Miriam Toews, Sarah Polley’s breathtaking film Women Talking centers on a group of Mennonite women who must decide what to do after the shocking realization that the men of their colony have been taking advantage of them for years. They can choose to act like nothing happened, stay and fight back, or flee everything they’ve ever known to start fresh somewhere else.
KATE HALLETT: I think it’s honestly one of the best…I want to say compliment, but I don’t think that’s the word I want to use. It’s like the biggest…HALLETT: Yeah, it’s like the biggest honor in the world to be asked to do that, especially by the incredible [director] Sarah Polley. Out of everyone in this cast, I was kind of just flabbergasted that she asked me, and it just felt so incredibly special.
Michelle, I feel like your character sort of serves as a bridge in a way between the adults and the kids in that in-between space between adulthood and adolescence. Is that kind of how you saw it and approached it as well? McLEOD: Yeah, 100%. I think that mental health needs to be talked about so much more and people need to understand that it is something that happens to people – it’s all part of being an emotional being. The more we talk about it, the more understanding we can have, and the more validated you can feel experiencing these things.
