While actors are always trying to be directors, Kristen Stewart demonstrates that she most certainly is one with The Chronology of Water, a blistering biography of a traumatized woman at war with herself and the world.
Pushing affectations to their breaking point as a means of immersing viewers in her protagonist’s fractured headspace, Stewart crafts an uncompromising and bracing first-person vision of suffering and humiliation, depression and degradation, violence and desire, and oppression and liberation. With star Imogen Poots vividly capturing the roiling contradictions born from her character’s crises, it’s a raw, rugged wound of a film.
