*The post contains the opinions of Rotten Tomatoes certified Top Critics.*
"Women Talking is a showcase for its leading ladies...particularly, a distressed Buckley and incensed Foy - revolve." (The Daily Beast)"Foy painfully illustrates Salome's apoplexy about what was done to her daughter." (Vanity Fair)
"Buckley commandingly lashes out in confusion and fury." (Vanity Fair)
"The actor turned director brings strong performances from a talky female ensemble, including Claire Foy and Jessie Buckley." (Guardian)
"There’s really strong work here from Foy, recovering from a brief career stumble where she went to Hollywood and came back empty-handed, whose flickering anger burns through the screen also from...a typically flinty Buckley..." (Guardian)
"If Foy or Buckley don't get at least one major industry nod, the awards system isn't working." (Entertainment Weekly)
"As Mariche, who’s long been suffering in her cruel husband’s hands, Jessie Buckley portrays another one of the clan’s most memorable women. Her character is perhaps the most complicated one too, stuck between a sense of resignation and concealed desire to burn it all down." (TheWrap)
"Buckley chips away at her character’s defensive callousness with such controlled precision that you can feel the exact moment she hits bone." (indieWire)
"Foy has the most animated role, and therefore also the most show-stopping moments, but the way she ratchets up the “You’re all a bunch of boys!” energy she brought to “First Man” is a sight to behold." (indieWire)
Verdict:
Both actresses have received excellent reviews and are likely to be nominated for an Oscar. The only question is, which of the two has a better chance, because the critics didn't quite come to a decision on this matter. Buckley is the Oscar nominee, but Foy has also won prestigious awards during her career (including two Primetime Emmy awards for The Crown), not to mention that she was already close for First Man. The British bloc can support both.
