“She has the patience and the interest in things that people don’t normally look at,”  says Stewart of director Kelly Reichardt during the Sundance premiere. Director Kelly Reichardt’s latest movie, Certain Women, had its Sundance premiere Sunday night, and while two of its leading actresses — Laura Dern and Michelle Williams — were unable to attend the festival, the third, Kristen Stewart, took the stage along with Reichardt and several members of the cast to speak about the film after its premiere.

Stewart plays a new lawyer who has gotten stuck teaching a night class that requires her to drive four hours each direction. There, she meets a young rancher (Lily Gladstone), who is also looking for meaning in her life. “I’m a Reichardt fan,”  said Stewart.  “I think particularly for our story, Kelly is somehow fixated on things that most people miss.

Um, can I have that blazer Kristen’s wearing?             Kristen Stewart and Tara Swennen met during the actress’ breakout role in 2007′s Into the Wild when she was 14.   “I would go to her with anything — and do — and sometimes fittings are like full-on therapy sessions,”   she says. “We really try to push the envelope,”  says Kristen Stewart of Swennen.  “Tara reminds me that I like to be daring, that I like to do things differently.
