🎬 THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER — 91% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES
Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut continues to receive a strong response from film critics.

🍅 91% on Rotten Tomatoes
⭐ 7.1/10 average rating
📝 109 critic reviews

The Rotten Tomatoes critics’ consensus describes The Chronology of Water as a film that navigates “a journey of emotional healing with impressive fluidity,” while highlighting Imogen Poots’ bracingly naturalistic performance.

Based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s acclaimed memoir, the film follows Lidia through an unconventional, fragmented journey of memory, trauma, sexuality, addiction, love and artistic awakening. Rather than turning her story into a conventional biopic, Stewart embraces a raw, impressionistic form that moves freely across time and experience. Critics have particularly praised Stewart’s distinctive directorial vision and Imogen Poots’ fearless central performance.
✨ A bold first film from Kristen Stewart — and one that has clearly made an impression on critics.

✨ “Anchored by a staggering performance from British actress Imogen Poots (who veers from heartbreaking vulnerability to seething rage in the space of seconds with extraordinary alacrity), The Chronology of Water uses a striking barrage of unconventional sounds and images to depict Lidia’s ugly childhood; her highly fluid, deeply conflicted sexuality; her fraught, emotionally volatile marriages (three in total, to three wildly different men); her final embrace of the written word; and an eventual, hard-fought happiness.”

✨ “Kristen Stewart has done what Nicolas Cage could not.”

“Kristen Stewart has done what Nicolas Cage could not – delivering a stunning directorial debut that will leave audiences shattered and breathless.”

— The Australian

Not all actors should become directors. But Kristen Stewart has made a remarkable transition behind the camera with The Chronology of Water — a visceral, fearless and deeply personal adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, starring Imogen Poots.

Not all actors should become directors – a stunning directorial debut that will leave audiences shattered and breathless. - The Australian

The Chronology of Water is in cinemas now.

Not all actors should become directors – the pipeline is cruel, the charisma of those beloved onscreen are often squandered on the box office. Nicholas Cage sucked at it, Tim Roth told me he’d never do it again. That cannot be said for Kristen Stewart, who has nailed her debut with The Chronolog...

🎬 “The Chronology of Water” — Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut

“Memory can be a slippery thing, and in Kristen Stewart’s debut feature, a writer recounts her crowded life in a truthfully disjointed way, crisscrossing between years and moments seemingly big and small, but each in their own way momentous. An adaptation of American author Lidia Yuknavitch’s thorny 2011 memoir, The Chronology of Water heralds a distinctive directorial vision. One that refuses to gloss up the muck and motivations of humanity, and affords its audience the intelligence to meet it on its own brash, lyrical terms.”
