Certain Women

Kristen Stewart, Lily Gladstone and Jared Harris star in Kelly Reichardt's acclaimed portmanteau of women's stories.

Laura Dern plays a lawyer who is is having an affair with a married man while defending a disgruntled construction worker. Gina is a woman of frustrated ambitions attempting to build the perfect family with her husband and surly child but struggling with her own moral compass. And lonely ranch hand Jamie enrols in a night school course and develops confusing feelings for supply teacher Beth.

Award-winning director, Kelly Reichardt, reunites with regular collaborator Michelle Williams for a quietly powerful story about the lives of four women living in a small, sleepy town in Montana. With stellar work from the flawless cast, and drawing from Montana-native Maile Meloy’s short stories, Reichardt’s delicate, nuanced direction ensures that the minutest look or gesture holds significance. And the only moment in the film to employ scored music is so overwhelming it might just break your heart.
