Diagonaldi Very well executed

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

urko75 I LOVE dramas, but this stuff is REALLY BORING, looks like a joke, especially the trailer...And it won so many rewards...that's confusing :/

mhughes57 Boring does not begin to cover this movie! My husband and I thought it looked interesting so we were sucked in. I kept waiting, waiting and waiting for it to all fit together but it just ended leaving us looking at each other with blank stares!Awful, just plain boring awful. Wish I had done something constructive instead of watching this total waste of time!It was just a lot of scenery, driving in trucks, watching animals being fed with very little dialog. The only actor/character with any character at all is Jared Harris. I can't believe he agreed to be in this pitiful excuse for a movie.

alex-278 It is galling to read some of the negative reviews of this film as it suggests that many reviewers are not appreciating the film for what it is and that is a film about three short stories about the relationships of four women set against a bleak if not magnificent back-drop of a rural America. The film is superbly acted and subtle and has no need for contrivances and special effects that appear to dominate many of our films nowadays. It can't be accused of not telling a story, it can't be accused of poor acting and it can't be accused of poor direction. So it is hard to fathom why there are so many negative reviews. If a viewer wants an action film then of course they will be dissapointed but this is not the point of the film it is to show how everyday events often boring and take place in mundane environments but to being able to capture this is the surely is the essence of good film making.

merelyaninnuendo Certain WomenThe problem that itches throughout the course of these kind of movies is that it focuses on separate characters individually and the audience might not have the reason to hold on to it all the way to the end if there is nothing binding them all but still the writer-director Kelly Reichardt's attempt is plausible as the first hour runs by smoothly. Laura Dern's part which is the first act is smartly written with gripping screenplay whilst Michelle William's has a mild tone to it at which point the film may lose the audience only to pick up onto its final act which is intriguing enough to invest in it. All the actors are at their best, offering stellar performances on screen with great supporting cast (one would hope that they all better share a screen). Certain Women has a great concept, excellent execution, stellar performances with a bit slow but gripping screenplay but lacks a genuine soul in it.
