Adapted from three short stories by Maile Meloy and unfolding in self-contained but interlocking episodes, Certain Women navigates the subtle shifts in personal desire and social expectation that unsettle the circumscribed lives of its characters: a lawyer (Laura Dern) forced to subdue a troubled client; a wife and mother (Michelle Williams) whose plans to construct her dream home reveal fissures in her marriage; and a night-school teacher (Kristen Stewart) who forms a tenuous bond with a lonely ranch hand (Lily Gladstone), whose longing for connection delivers an unexpected jolt of emotional imm ediacy. With unassuming craft, Reichardt captures the rhythms of daily life in smalltown Montana through these fine-grained portraits of women trapped within the landscape's wide-open spaces.

German American artist Eva Hesse (1936 - 1970) created her innovative art in latex and fiberglass in the whirling aesthetic vortex of 1960's New York. Her flowing forms were in part a reaction to the rigid structures of then-popular minimalism, a male-dominated movement.

Hesse’s complicated personal life encompassed not only a chaotic 1930's Germany, but also illness and the immigrant culture of New York in the 1940's. One of the twentieth century’s most intriguing artists, she finally receives her due in this film, an emotionally gripping journey with a gifted woman of great courage.
