THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER

Kristen Stewart is undoubtedly one of the most daring and talented actresses of her generation, so expectations for her directorial debut were correspondingly high. And she does not disappoint! Her adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s novel of the same name offers more than just great acting. The story of a young woman who initially represses her experiences of abuse with sports, then with sex and drugs, and only learns to face her demons as a writer is staged as a radically subjective experience. Stewart literally crawls into the consciousness of her protagonist cinematically.
