Despite a fine cast and skillful performances that make this material look far better than it really is, this drawn-out collection of pregnant pauses, lingering emotive shots and endless nice-to-look-at-but-ultimately-pointless images is an exercise in tedium and unfulfilled hopes that something will eventually materialize from its underdeveloped, underwritten narrative. Of its three story lines, only one is even modestly interesting, leaving viewers baffled by the point the other two overly vague vignettes are trying to make. Don't buy into the hype surrounding this one -- it's not worthy of it.… Expand

There are excellent actors there who for the most part do not have much to play.
I really enjoyed some parts of the film while others seemed too long and pointless.… Expand

I agree with the users rather than the critics. This is very much in the tradition of "Cinema Verite", and it looks at the lives of four women who loosely intersect in a small town in Montana.

This is very much in the tradition of "Cinema Verite", and it looks at the lives of four women who loosely intersect in a small town in Montana. The film does manage to create a mood, and there are some good actors and performances. Yet it is a very slow-moving, tedious and rather depressing film which focusses on the inability of the characters to make (or keep) connections with other people. The first segment, with Laura Dern as an attorney who has a prospective client who was injured on his former job, initially holds some promise, yet this story doesn't go much of anywhere. The point to the second story seems to be that the audience knows something about her husband that she doesn't. The young actress who plays the ranch hand in the third segment is sympathetic, yet the story is undeveloped. I saw this film because I like to support women filmmakers, but there are too many long, drawn out shots - and, again, no compelling story.… Expand

This movie was about 4 women personal life affairs, 4 different short stories. They really had nothing in common among themselves. These 4 characters were well performed by these four actresses. That is the best part of this movie.
