Three strong-willed women (Kristen Stewart, Laura Dern, Michelle Williams) strive to forge their own paths amidst the wide-open plains of the American Northwest: a lawyer who finds herself contending with both office sexism and a hostage situation; a wife and mother whose determination to build her dream home puts her at odds with the men in her life; and a young law student who forms an ambiguous bond with a lonely ranch hand.

Critics Consensus

Certain Women further demonstrates writer-director Kelly Reichardt's gift for telling the stories of ordinary people with uncommon empathy and skill.

Like crossing paths with strangers in real life, I left my interactions with these women mulling over small details and wondering what remained unsaid.

Globe and Mail

With the third act, the power of Reichardt's elliptical approach becomes apparent.

Rated: 4/4

Bruce DeMara

Toronto Star

This is not a film of big revelations or ready-made solutions. It's gentle and finely executed storytelling about ordinary people longing for connection and meaning as they face the challenges of another day.

Rated: 3/4

Certain Women is a Kelly Reichardt film through and through. Again, her style isn’t for everyone, but if you fall into her rhythm, there’s some proactive and cinematic gold here...

Rated: A

George Elkind

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

Dealing with desire and its array of repercussions, the segment makes space for the role of class and aspiration in shaping or halting possible connection, without being so bold as to make any declarations of their definite effect.

Filmmaker Magazine

Reichardt’s films take place in an atmosphere of heightened quiet, and here she reaches a new level of concentration.

Kelly R's films are all the same. They're called "subtle" but to me, they're dull. The pacing is always the same, never varies, no rhythm. The conflict(s) are mostly invisible. The cinematography is merely average. I'm always surprised by the actors willing to drag themselves thru the non-plots. But then again, actors like to act. I simply can't watch any more of these "films."

beautiful, quiet movie that celebrates the impossibility of the kind of boring life that somehow just keeps going on.

Disappointed with the development of the story line as it was slow, boring and uneventful, apart from a ‘docile hostage' situation. The actors were not really able to exhibit any authenticity in their roles due to the lack of depth in the plot. The monotonous and nondescript events belied the scenery and setting of the movie.

Good things: Horses. Music. Views of Montana. Bad things: All the rest. Washing my socks for 1:46 minutes would make more sense.
