Product Description
The expanses of the American Northwest take center stage in this intimately observed triptych from Kelly Reichardt. Adapted from three short stories by Maile Meloy and unfolding in self-contained but interlocking episodes, Certain Women navigates the subtle shifts in personal desire and social expectation that unsettle the circumscribed lives of its characters: a lawyer (Laura Dern) forced to subdue a troubled client; a woman (Michelle Williams) whose plans to construct her dream home reveal fissures in her marriage; and a night-school teacher (Kristen Stewart) who forms a tenuous bond with a lonely ranch hand (Lily Gladstone), whose unguardedness and deep attachment to the land deliver an unexpected jolt of emotional immediacy. With unassuming craft, Reichardt captures the rhythms of daily life in small-town Montana through these fine-grained portraits of women trapped within the landscape s wide-open spaces.

Director Kelly Reichardt creates another compassionate film, be it Michelle Williams quiet anguish, breakout star Lily Gladstone or the commentary of the other two incredible leads (Dern & Stewart). Pay attention as this is a cinematic poem!

if anyone likes these kind of films i recommend certain women with it's relaxed atmosphere and good story lines.
The teacher is an exhausted young lawyer called Beth, played beautifully by Kristen Stewart. The rancher falls for Beth big time, although it's not clear whether she immediately realises this is what's happened. After the class she ends up taking Beth to the local diner so that the latter can grab some food before she starts off on her four hour drive home.
Beth is an interesting character, so self-absorbed she hardly seems to register the rancher or her attempts to connect with her but also a fighter in a way the rancher isn't. She comes from a poor family and is the first woman in it to make anything of herself. No-one in the family has encouraged her or shown any confidence in her.
The story unfolds gently. No roses, no violins... but we do get a horse! The outcome is all the sadder because the director, Kelly Reichardt, avoids melodrama in the ending. Instead life goes on, but we sense that the rancher will be just a little less likely to risk coming out of her shell for the next person who comes along... if they ever do.
Lily Gladstone's performance just breaks my heart. She is so real and her feelings ring so true that i can hardly believe she is acting. The nuance in her acting, the way she so completely inhabits the character - the way she walks, talks, gazes - have such integrity. We find out very little about her background, there's just one anecdote about an accident she had as a child, told slightly nervously in the way of someone not used to being listened to; yet she feels like a complete person.
The cinematography plays its part in establishing the mood of all this: shots of a bleak but beautiful landscape, partly covered in snow across which horses run, are contrasted with the dim interior of the classroom in which the rancher sits isolated at the back and the brightly lit, functional interior of the diner.
The other two stories which concern respectively a lawyer (Laura Dern) taken hostage by a desperate client (Jared Harris) and a woman obsessed with buying some local stone to build a dream house (Michelle Williams) i rarely watch. The rancher's story though i don't think i'll ever stop wanting to watch. I get something new out of it every time i see it.
Die Distanz und das Leben damit, in diesem Land, wo es keine größeren Städte gibt, ist dann auch eines der beiden Themen dieser Filmkomposition. Sie verlinken die Features mit den vier Frauen, die darin im Zentrum stehen. Ein anderes Thema, die Konversationen, die am Rande des Alltags geführt werden und die Hoffnungen, die damit verknüpft sind.
Gina (Michelle Williams) biwakt mit Mann + Tochter auf einem abgelegenen Grundstück. Lang ists noch hin, bis das Haus, das sie sich dort bauen wollen, auch steht. Die junge Frau hat schließlich eine Unterredung mit einem fernen, noch fremden Nachbar um ein paar Steine. In einprägsamen Bildern zeigt der Film das Ergebnis, die Ortsveränderung der Steine, die keine Geschichte haben. Egal, ob sie gebraucht sind oder neu. Zuvor noch als Schutthaufen zu sehen, liegen sie jetzt woanders aufgeschichtet und zum Bau bereit.
Laura (Laura Dern) hat einen Mandanten, der in Folge eines Arbeitsunfalls unter Seestörungen leidet. Von seinem alten Arbeitgeber mit einem Abstandsgeld abgespeist, will er nicht verstehen, dass eine Klage auf weitere Ausgleichszahlungen aussichtslos ist. Als der Mandant böse wird und einen Wachmann als Geisel nimmt, um seine alte Firma räuberisch zu erpressen, erreicht Laura - wie, weiß sie auch nicht -, dass er es aufgibt.
Beth (Kristen Stewart) fährt 20, 30 Meilen oder mehr, um einmal wöchentlich an einer Abendschule als Aushilfslehrerin zu arbeiten. Dabei trifft sie auf Jamie (Lily Gladstone). Die junge Viehzüchterin lässt sich von der neuen Aushilfslehrerin so manches über sich erzählen. Als Beth nicht mehr zum Unterricht erscheint, ist es Jamie, die Beth, einem spontanen Impuls folgend, mit dem Traktor einen Besuch abstattet, aber die Viehzüchterin läuft bei ihr gegen eine Wand. Dabei wollte sie nur geliebt sein.
Ein eher trauriger, melancholischer Film, wo der Raum die Zeit zu schlucken scheint. Er enthält aber auch starke Bilder, die sich sehr einprägen. Michelle Williams als Marilyn Monroe in "My week with..."oder Laura Dern als Nikki Grace in David Lnychs "Inland Empire" waren sicherlich aufregender. 3 Punkte (= solid), um das Fazit zu ziehen.
