David Ehrlich, 12 Breakout Stars From Sundance 2016
Kelly Reichert’s triptych of Maile Meloy short stories about women in Montana weaves together three generations of incredible American actresses (represented here by Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, and Kristen Stewart). But it’s newcomer Lily Gladstone, playing a lonely farmhand who grows smitten with her town’s newest night school teacher (Stewart), who steals the show. Warm, silent and just as confused by her heart as we are, Gladstone’s gentle turn reveals a talent who can hint at greater depths of feeling than most performers could ever hope to show.
I am a huge fan of Reichert, and have read Maile Meloy’s short stories because of their figuring into Reichert’s work. Really looking forward to seeing Certain Women, and Lily Gladstone, who is a breakout star, apparently.
