Description

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.
