Certain Women
12A
Loosely intertwined stories of four women: lawyer, business woman, teacher, ranch-hand (Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart, Lily Gladstone) exposes their quiet longing and pioneering spirit. Each story underlines their isolation and exhaustion, yet also their resilience and strength, as they navigate their lives.
A beautifully shot and tender film of small, emotional moments captured, we're screening Certain Women alongside director Kelly Reichardt's latest Showing Up (2022). Book tickets here.

“Reichardt has crafted another deeply felt and beautifully ambiguous meditation on contemporary life in the far corners of the American heartland.”
Screen Daily
“Reichardt has never been one to reduce her characters to an easy emotional or dramatic equation, and here the everyday challenge of being female in a male-dominated profession is just one element on an extraordinarily fine-grained human canvas.”
Los Angeles Times
“Few contemporary filmmakers can do quite as much with quiet as Kelly Reichardt. Superficially empty soundscapes are layered so intricately with the rustle of nature, the brooding of weather and the breathing of preoccupied people that her films come to seem positively noisy to a sympathetic ear. So it is in the marvellous “Certain Women,” where the storytelling has a similarly latent impact.”
