No one can make quiet, small moments feel
as cacophonously loud as American auteur
Kelly Reichardt (“Old Joy,” “Wendy and
Lucy”). In her latest masterpiece, “Certain
Women,” she makes them scream with emotion.
Pulling you into the intersecting lives of
three disparate Montana women—all yearning,
all searching, all intoxicatingly complicated—we’re
presented with a new vision of
the American West, one told with refreshing
elegance and grace. A morally-conflicted lawyer
(Laura Dern) diffuses a hostage situation;
a woman (Michelle Williams) struggles with
marital discord unearthed by the process
of building a new home; and an ambiguous
relationship develops between a ranch hand
(Lily Gladstone) and a lawyer (Kristen Stewart)
who seems to be out of her league. These
tales collide with the stark beauty of Reichardt’s
images, the depth of the phenomenal
performances, and consciously low-key drama
to form something uniquely marvelous.
We are delighted to present this Midwest
premiere of a film by one of America’s greatest
directors.
