Review of Certain Women (2016) by Dave C — 26 Mar 2017
A touching and poignant tale about three different women trying to find their way in a world where examples of sexism still represent a wall in which they must learn to climb over. The narrative unfolds in such a way that all three stories intersect, with each intersection providing a window into the individual struggles, joys and fears that their stories embody.
My understanding is that the film actually fuses three different source stories, and so it is interesting to watch the way in which they connect. It's a quiet movie, perhaps too quiet for some, but there is a certain beauty to be found in the silence, and the performances each give themselves to unwrapping this beauty in an emotional and patient manner.
