Indie auteur Kelly Reichardt, who is as much known and admired for her naturalistic directing style as for her critically acclaimed Oregon-set dramas (Night Moves, Wendy and Lucy, Meek's Cutoff), premiered her latest character-driven film "Certain Women" at Sundance this year to rave reviews.

The film, which has firmly established Reichardt as one of the prominent figures in the American independent film scene, stars Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart, and Laura Dern as three women (a mother, a law-school graduate, and a lawyer) in a small town of Montana, who are trying to carve their own distinct paths for their future and career.

Based on the short stories by fiction writer Maile Melloy, and adapted for the screen by Reichardt, "Certain Women" co-stars Jared Harris, James Le Gros, Rene Auberjonois and introduces up-and-coming actress Lily Gladstone as Stewart's on-screen partner.

The film will be released in theaters on October 14. Watch the trailer, above.

synopsis:
One of America's foremost filmmakers, Kelly Reichardt (Wendy and Lucy, Meek's Cutoff) directs a remarkable ensemble cast led by Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart, and Laura Dern in this stirring look at three women striving to forge their own paths amidst the wide-open plains of the American Northwest: a lawyer (Dern) who finds herself contending with both office sexism and a hostage situation; a wife and mother (Williams) whose determination to build her dream home puts her at odds with the men in her life; and a young law student (Stewart) who forms an ambiguous bond with a lonely ranch hand (radiant newcomer Lily Gladstone). As their stories intersect in subtle but powerful ways, a portrait emerges of flawed, but strong-willed individuals in the process of defining themselves.
