Description: The lives of
three women intersect in small-town America, where each is imperfectly blazing
a trail.
Review: The American drama film “Certain Women” is about three Montana women who
are intentionally and unintentionally connected. Three women, three stories.
One is a lawyer who has a difficult client. The other a woman who gets into an
argument with her husband over the purchase of a piece of land and the las is a
woman who works on a horse ranch and takes lessons from an attorney. All are
connected, but how.
“Certain Women” divides
opinions. Some though it was three disconnected storylines and other see three
stories with the same kind of message. Feminism at its finest. Yes, the threads
were very thin between the stories, but they were there. In addition, the visuals
were raw and unadorned.
The fact remains that “Certain
Women” didn’t live up to my high expectations. It did not convince, too bad,
because the acting is very good. A little more emotion and more connections
would have done the film good.
