Working Woman Reviews
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
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
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
"Working Woman" sends an audience out steaming that justice in such cases often remains undone.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 9, 2019
This is one of the few films about sexual harassment in the workplace that has the feel of authenticity. With quiet, incremental force, it brings home the helplessness and terrors of being trapped.
| Original Score: B+ | Apr 24, 2019
An understated polemic that becomes an affecting drama.

"Working Woman" may sound familiar, but be prepared: It cuts closer to the bone than you will be ready for.

It is a story we've likely heard of or seen before, yet under Michal Aviad's sympathetic lens, it's one that stands out with a sense of urgency.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 27, 2019
Feels very contemporary, but will also resonate with generations of viewers who recognize the many small moments that lead up to and follow its quietly wrenching central experience.

"Working Woman" unfolds like a psychological thriller - a procedural that, as it tightens its grip, captures how workplace sexual harassment slowly takes over one woman's life.

Michal Aviad's film forcefully brings home a reality that many of us have been aware of only intellectually.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 25, 2019
A slow burning but ultimately empowering drama that works despite a lack of the bigger, louder, more outwardly emotional moments it could have succumbed to.

Finely-drawn characters and the kind of grey-area scenario that may be uncomfortably familiar to many women make this a thought-provoking addition to the post #metoo conversation.

Aviad and his co-writers manage a resolution that is satisfying without stretching credibility, or taking the film into revenge-fantasy schematics.
