Review of Certain Women (2016) by Brent_Marchant — 20 Oct 2016

Boring, pretentious and unfocused -- what more need be said. Despite a fine cast and skillful performances that make this material look far better than it really is, this drawn-out collection of pregnant pauses, lingering emotive shots and endless nice-to-look-at-but-ultimately-pointless images is an exercise in tedium and unfulfilled hopes that something will eventually materialize from its underdeveloped, underwritten narrative.

Of its three story lines, only one is even modestly interesting, leaving viewers baffled by the point the other two overly vague vignettes are trying to make. Don't buy into the hype surrounding this one -- it's not worthy of it.
