Review of Certain Women (2016)

By Liz Beardsworth (78) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 20 Feb 2017

By Peg Aloi (89) for Arts Fuse (166) on 02 Dec 2016

Certain Women's sure-handedness mirrors the quiet competence of its protagonists, weathering trouble, forging ahead, getting stuff done…

Review of Certain Women (2016)

Review of Certain Women (2016)

By John Serba (472) for MLive.com (475) on 29 Nov 2016

a different kind of modern Western; one where confrontations are deflected and firearms feel impotent…

Review of Certain Women (2016)

Review of Certain Women (2016)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for Spliced Personality (175) on 13 Nov 2016

This staggeringly talented writer-director's sixth feature is perhaps the purest distillation of Reichardt's sensibility and may be her best film yet…

Review of Certain Women (2016)
