You’ve probably seen mainstream movies about women being sexually harassed at work which are highly dramatised, revenge-thrillers that are exciting to watch. WORKING WOMAN is the complete opposite of that in tone. What WORKING WOMAN does is explore the issue of sexual harassment of women at work by telling the story slowly, subtly, in the context of real life where Orna has to manage completely alone. Even those closest to her don’t understand what she is going through — male or female. And while Orna ultimately fights back, she does this in a way which is much more realistic and within the power of anyone to accomplish — providing they are able to fight in their own way, not the ways that Hollywood may sensationally represent. WORKING WOMAN takes a slow burn approach and, while I cannot speak for women who watch this movie, the ending, for me, was an empowering one. Liron Ben-Shlush, who plays Orna, is brilliant in a subtle performance that strikes powerfully at the viewer’s emotional heart. WORKING WOMAN is a powerful articulation of what so many women have to put up with in the work place and the loneliness and isolation that the social power that allows some men to perpetrate abuse on women. This movie should be watched by all women and men to gain a deeper appreciation of what women experience.
