The makers of The Chronology of Water have dropped a trailer for the movie. The film is Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut. The movie is based on the memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch.
According to the official logline of the movie, The Chronology of Water 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.”
The story transforms trauma into art, embodying Yuknavitch’s defiant voice that made her work a modern cult classic. 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, the makers wrote in the trailer description.
The film is touted to be a raw and unflinching portrait of survival, sexuality, and self-invention. The movie stars Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Susannah Flood, Tom Sturridge, Kim Gordon, Michael Epp, and Jim Belushi in prominent roles.
After its release in select theatres on December 05, 2025, the movie will get a wider rollout on January 09, 2026. The Chronology of Water had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
