THREE strong-willed women are the focus of a film being screened at the Bahrain Cinema Club, Juffair at 7pm tonight.
Certain Women, directed by Kelly Reichardt, stars Kristen Steward, Michelle Williams and Laura Dern.
The women strive to forge their own paths amidst the wide-open plains of the American Northwest.
A lawyer who finds herself contending with both office sexism and a hostage situation, a wife and mother whose determination to build her dream home puts her at odds with the men in her life and a young law student who forms an ambiguous bond with a lonely ranch hand.
As their stories intersect in subtle but powerful ways, a portrait emerges of flawed, but strong-willed individuals in the process of defining themselves.
The film won the Best Film Award at the London Film Festival.
