"Certain Women drops us into a handful of intersecting lives across Montana. A lawyer (Dern) tries to diffuse a hostage situation and calm her disgruntled client (Jared Harris), who feels slighted by a workers’ compensation settlement. A married couple (Williams and James Le Gros) breaks ground on a new home but exposes marital fissures when they try to persuade an elderly man to sell his stockpile of sandstone. A ranch hand (Lily Gladstone) forms an attachment to a young lawyer (Stewart), who inadvertently finds herself teaching a twice-weekly adult education class, four hours from her home."

A neatly executed but slightly arid exercise in literary adaptation. Full Review
Kelly Reichardt's wonderful triptych of female character studies confirms her status as the quietest of great American filmmakers. Full Review
Like Reichardt's directorial hand, the performances are understated across the board, but deeply felt. Full Review
