Based on the beloved memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch and marking the directorial debut of actress Kristen Stewart, The Chronology of Water is a raw and unflinching portrait of survival, sexuality, and self-invention. The film traces Lidia’s life from her earliest memories in the Pacific Northwest, as a promising swimmer, through fractured relationships, near-motherhood, addiction, and encounters with artistic heroes. Told as a fluid memory wash, the story transforms trauma into art, embodying the defiant voice that made Yuknavitch’s work famous. It is not only a chronicle of a woman becoming a writer, but a visceral journey through the wreckage and resilience of a life lived against the grain.With an excellent cast including Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Susannah Flood, Tom Sturridge, Kim Gordon, Michael Epp, and Jim Belushi, Stewart's debut feature "is a boisterous spectacle of the female experience directed with pure love and sincerity...this film isn’t just bold storytelling, it’s a phenomenon that drenches you with intensity. From the opening sequence, the whole point is to create thunderous encounters with your senses to bring you into Lidia’s mental state. At any given moment, you’re bound, by design, to feel its radical power."—Patrice Witherspoon, Screen Rant.
