xhidden99 Which is both telling and sad. Telling because there's nothing in the movie of any substance or meaning. And sad because there is no plot. All that's left for the reviewer is to retell the scenes. I felt I was being trolled by the writer director by being forced to watch nothing until I had some kind of reaction. Like Freudian therapy where the therapist says nothing in an effort to upset the patient into a 'breakthrough. In any case you will watch and watch and watch and ultimately feel the experiment is you. Alternatively the movie is so indie that everyone is supposed to think it's genius, a new art form even, so that no one will ever mention that the emperor has no clothes. On a technical level there's no backing music, the sound of tinny and flat, if the lighting is natural then Montana gets less sun than Scotland. The camera work is good. At least there's no shaky cam. There's very little dialog but the interminable lengths of scenes isn't as irritating as you would think. They're just pointless.The acting is sturdy enough though all the cheering that this is a master class in acting is off. Laura Dern really is one dimensional. Michelle Williams really is one dimensional. Kirsten Stewart is the personification of bored robotic stoner 'drama'. All in all the movie is like an existentialist play where all the characters are dead and in hell but they don't know it, spending eternity in a dull dead entropic nothing where nothing happens
mario-787-595302 There is ZERO story. The movie follows 3 women's lives that barely intersect. At least not enough to even matter or add to plot or story or entertainment value. My wife and I kept waiting..... and waiting..... wow. The ending is unlike any movie we've seen. There was no ending, not even the semblance of closure, just empty script and lack luster storyline. It really is that bad. I do not take time to write these unless I am warning people not to waste their time. Acting was okay, but they could only do what the script let them do, which is nothing. Worst than paint drying on a wet day. Stick a pencil in my eye, that would be more fun. Do not watch this.
TxMike My wife and I watched this on DVD from our public library. When it was over my wife just said "Slice of life stories."When I viewed the extras on the disk it became clear that the source work was based on or inspired by the author's life experiences as she grew into adulthood. As such they have not much, if any, back story. The movie just picks up at some significant point in their lives.Laura Dern is a lawyer, she has a stubborn client, for 8 months she has been telling him he has no recourse for a work-related injury but he persists. Then when they meet with a male attorney and he says the same thing the man says "OK". That segment was mostly a commentary on how women and men are perceived in the same profession.Michelle Williams wants to build her dream home on a plot of secluded land in Montana, we see her dealing with an older man for a pile of stone he doesn't seem to have any use for. Meanwhile there is tension in the family, it is as if she is overlooking the tension and hoping the new home will make everything nice. Of note, Williams actually grew up in Montana.My favorite of the three is Kristen Stewart as young lawyer Elizabeth Travis, who took a Tu &Th evening gig to teach "School Law" to educators in a continuing education program, without factoring in that it was a 4-hour drive each way and she had to be at work each day after. Teach until 9PM, get a bite to eat, get home at 2AM, get up at 7AM to dress for work. She meets a lonely young rancher lady who wanders into her class "because she saw people going in." But she seems to want to pursue a deeper relationship which makes Elizabeth uncomfortable. While we enjoyed the various stories I would not give this movie a very high rating because there isn't much there. It is very well made but seeing slices of lives of other people is marginally rewarding.
jbriskey-30546 Boring pointless nonsense. No plot. Unpleasant characters about which we know nothing and so care nothing about, doing nothing interesting, in unpleasant uninteresting surroundings for no discernable reasons. Who cares? One of the worst movies we ever tried to watch. And, don't bother trying to turn up the brightness on your TV, the dismal cinematography is as dim as the characters portrayed. Gave it up after 45 minutes. Using your time instead to clean the trash cans will be more entertaining. Some critics say this movie is great because it shows "real" people, like all of us. We go to the movies to avoid people like us. If you listen to anything a movie "critic" says (like we did), you/we deserve a turkey like this.
