Certain Women

Certain Women, in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium, takes its characters as seriously as it takes its plot. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Laura Dern sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on fuboTV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Certain Women is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — Certain Women earns every emotional beat it goes for. Three strong-willed women strive to forge their own paths amidst the wide-open plains of the American Northwest: a lawyer forced to subdue a troubled client; a wife and mother whose plans to construct her dream home reveal fissures in her marriage; and a lonely ranch hand who forms an ambiguous bond with a young law student. Laura Dern and Kristen Stewart lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. It hit screens in 2016. What elevates Certain Women is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Certain Women is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Laura Dern anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.
