Acclaimed filmmaker Kelly Reichardt creates a triptych of women’s lives, based on stories by Maile Meloy, and set against the Big Sky backdrop of southern Montana. Laura Dern is a lawyer burdened with a difficult and desperate client (Jared Harris). Michelle Williams is Gina, who is planning to build a new home with her husband Ryan (James Le Gros). Lily Gladstone is a Native American ranch-hand who stumbles on a teacher’s workshop and develops a fascination with Elizabeth (Kristen Stewart), a recently graduated lawyer. Reichardt captures the immense scope and profound stillness of the landscape, and derives emotion from everyday life, in these portraits of strong, independent women. With Rene Auberjonois, Sara Rodier. Rated R. Writer/Director: Kelly Reichardt. (US 2016) 108 min.
