Dir. Kristen Stewart (2025)
Starring Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Jim Belushi, Tom Sturridge & Kim Gordon
Through loss, love, and self-discovery, a woman transforms pain into art—and writes a life on her own terms.
Based on the beloved memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch and marking the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, The Chronology of Water is a raw and unflinching portrait of survival, sexuality, and self-invention.
