This is a movie that, I suspect, only a woman could make: It's so sensitive to the impossible dilemmas women...

An excellent no-nonsense drama.
| Original Score: B | Dec 3, 2019
Indeed, Working Woman is a timely film that echoes the chaotic contemporary times in which the perverse nature of the corruptible work-related politics/subculture has gone immorally awry.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 27, 2019
Ben-Shlush is excellent as Orna, while Noy exudes faded charm as the boss who treats his female employees shamefully.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 12, 2019
Liron Ben Shlush superbly portrays the anxiety and heartbreak of the victimized as well as the dignity and determination to face down an attacker
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 11, 2019
Noy is strong here as Benny, a man used to getting what he wants, but Ben-Shlush is even better as Orna, who is initially embarrassed, then stunned, then numbed and afraid, and finally defiant.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 10, 2019
The intricacies of the power dynamics behind sexual harassment in the workplace are aired out in all their subtlety and savagery in this excellent Israeli drama [that] soundly demonstrates how hot-button topics are best dissected with a cool head.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2019
This is a supremely clever movie, rooted in strong emotion that's rigorously controlled. It's a work of passion, told with utmost restraint. That makes it even more effective.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2019
This is a forensic examination of just how workplace sexual harassment can not only play out but ensnare its victims in deeply complicated, confusing, dehumanising emotional and psychological webs.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 3, 2019
Aviad's storytelling is realistic and engrossing, her handheld camera follows Orna like a shadow, the slightly roving movement accentuates the tension.
| Jul 29, 2019
Although commendably relatable, the story line at times feels too familiar, save for later scenes in which Orna makes some choices that lead to a (mostly) satisfying ending.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 14, 2019
