A quiet yet deeply powerful meditation on female resilience, Certain Women showcases Kelly Reichardt’s signature minimalist storytelling and evocative landscapes. Premiering at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim, the film went on to win Best Film at the London Film Festival and was named Best Picture by the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) at the Vienna International Film Festival. It also earned recognition from the National Society of Film Critics and the Independent Spirit Awards, further solidifying Reichardt as one of the most compelling voices in independent cinema.

Featuring an outstanding ensemble cast—including Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams, and Lily Gladstone—Certain Women interweaves three poignant stories set in rural Montana. Through moments of quiet defiance and unspoken longing, the film explores the lives of women navigating complex relationships, societal expectations, and the isolation of the American West. A masterclass in subtle, emotionally rich filmmaking, Certain Women is a must-see for lovers of intimate, character-driven storytelling.
