In The Land Of Women

Isn't it wonderful when you pick a film which you have never heard of before, and it turns out to be uplifting and beautifully written?! In The Land Of Women stars a young Kristen Stewart as a troublesome teenager and her mother Meg Ryan as a woman going through personal and marital problems along with Adam Brody, who without realising it helps change the life of these women around whilst sorting out his own problems! It is such a brilliant story with Brody becoming friends with Ryan as well as her beautiful daughter Stewart. Originally I thought the romance was between Stewart and Brody, however Stewart plays a sixteen year old in this film and Brody is actually 26! Quite a difference, however it is such a loving tale of friendships and trust in life's little surprises! And talking of surprises, this film half-way through turns out to be extremely emotional; how a family deal with problems which instead of tearing them apart bring them closer together!

This is the film before Stewart became globally known as Bella Swann and some of her acting traits are carried through to Twilight as there is not much difference between the way Stewart portrays the two characters, however I do like her performance and the way she expresses her anger through art!!
If you ever spot this film, I would recommend to watch it! It is brilliant! I mean not Academy Award worthy but really good for a snowy afternoon like today!
