    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Adaptation of three Maile Meloy short stories, "Travis B," "Native Sandstone" and "Tome." The stories are part of her "Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It" and "Half in Love" collections.
    • Goofs
      When Elizabeth Travis first starts her school law course, she begins writing her name as "Eliz..." on the blackboard, then wipes it out and simply writes "Beth". A little later a fully written but crossed out "Elizabeth" appears next to the "Beth".
    • Quotes

      Laura: It'd be so lovely to think that if I were a man I could explain the law and people would listen and say, "Okay."

    The first 45 minutes are alright. After that point, it's a struggle ....
    In my admittedly subjective opinion, Certain Women is an overrated movie. I expect that certain social justice warriors and some feminists will be attracted to it because it presents and it frames the vignettes in ways that are supposed to tell the stories of the characters depicted therein from a gynocentric perspective and, indeed, people who don't consider themselves to be social justice warriors or feminists should be able to pick up on that, but in the end, it all seems a little too self-conscious and affected for my tastes. I'd take a pass on it if I were you.
