Certain Women

Based on short stories from Maile Meloy's Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It , the latest film from acclaimed writer-director Kelly Reichardt is a tripartite portrait of striving, independent women -- played by Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and outstanding newcomer Lily Gladstone -- whose lives intersect in suggestive and powerful ways. With the help of her magnificent cast, Reichardt has created a masterful, profoundly empathetic film that reveals these certain women as both painfully vulnerable and unfathomably resilient in the face of life's many uncertainties.
