Working Woman is more than a feature that makes compelling drama out of workplace sexual harassment; it’s an excellent work by any standard, a subtle and insightful character-driven drama that will compel anyone who cares about the interplay of personalities on-screen. Read full review

Michal Aviad’s film forcefully brings home a reality that many of us have been aware of only intellectually. Read full review

The debate around sexual harassment is one many are having around the world, far beyond hashtags and press releases. Working Woman is a part of that global and cultural conversation, yet it never loses that personal focus of one woman’s experience. Read full review

To its credit, Working Woman is laser-focused on its theme. There are no superfluous characters or side-plots. There’s no best friend to confide in, no hilarious sidekick. There’s just a woman who feels all alone like there’s no one she can trust, no one who will understand her. Read full review

This second narrative feature by Israeli documentarian Michal Aviad is a strong drama that eschews melodramatic contrivance, making its points via cool (yet sometimes squirm-inducing) observation. Read full review

This story of workplace abuse and its fallout could just as well take place in New York, Istanbul, Mumbai — or any other city. Orna is Everywoman. Like many other women in her shoes, she emerges scarred, but stronger and wiser. Read full review

Every moment indicates deep compassion for Orna, and anyone else who might be driven to see a multi-layered message movie for the #MeToo era. Read full review

“Working Woman” is an Israeli film depicting the frustration of a vulnerable member of the work force as she is victimized by the sexual harassment of her employer and how difficult it is for her (and for so many other women similarly situated) to cope with the awkwardness of the role in“Working Woman” is an Israeli film depicting the frustration of a vulnerable member of the work force as she is victimized by the sexual harassment of her employer and how difficult it is for her (and for so many other women similarly situated) to cope with the awkwardness of the role in which she has been placed. Foreign by definition both in language and origin, the film is universal in its appeal for what befalls the heroine in this movie could occur anywhere in the world proving that “bad boys will be bad boys” regardless of the language they speak. I give the film an 8 rating with special acknowledgment to Michel Aviad who, as director and co-writer of the film, has captured the humanity and plight of its leading character.… Expand
