These are three tangentially connected stories. Laura Wells (Laura Dern) is a lawyer struggling to explain to her client Fuller (Jared Harris) his unwinnable case for the last eight months. One meeting with a male lawyer and he accepts it. He’s angry and he goes off. Gina (Michelle Williams), Ryan Lewis (James Le Gros), and their teen daughter are living in the woods as they build their house from the ground up. The couple tries to buy sandstone from their neighbor Albert (René Auberjonois). Ranch hand Jamie (Lily Gladstone) happens upon an adult night law class taught by lawyer Beth Travis (Kristen Stewart).

There is a nice uncomfortable disturbing vibe coming from Jared Harris. That’s why I don’t understand why Laura would go to him. The cops may not care about a defense attorney but she should know better. It’s hard to empathize with smart people doing stupid things. At least, the first story goes somewhere. The second story is not as compelling. I might be missing something but it’s a misfire. The third story has an obvious end point and it becomes a matter of waiting for the climax. Feeding the animals is not cinematic enough to make the waiting compelling enough. The final meeting is pretty poignant although the actress needs to do some bigger acting at the appropriate moments. The first and third stories could be expanded into a more cohesive movie. There is a contemplative aspect to tying these stories together if only it could illuminate more the point.Read More
