Certain Women stars Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams and Laura Dern, and explores what it means to be an independent woman in America. Watch the first trailer here.
Sometimes trailers feel like perfunctory ads for movies we already know we’re gonna go see. Other times, like in the case of Certain Women, they open our eyes to a movie-going experience that we wouldn’t otherwise have had.

Certain Women is an adaptation of Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It, a collection of short stories by Maile Meloy. The movie is directed by Kelly Reichardt and set in Montana, where the ‘female experience’ is explored by tracking the lives of three women whose stories intersect in various ways.
The first trailer is poignant and emotional, and definitely worth sharing with anyone interested in this kind of introspective movie:
Certain Women debuted earlier at Sundance this year to rave reviews, Kristen Stewart once more garnering much praise for her performance.
The movie synopsis reads:
“A lawyer (Laura 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 (Michelle 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 (Kristen Stewart), who inadvertently finds herself teaching a twice-weekly adult education class, four hours from her home.”
