Kristen Stewart's directorial debut "The Chronology of Water" premiered at Cannes Film Festival to a four-minute standing ovation on Friday night - and left many in the crowd wiping their eyes. Imogen Poots' knockout performance was certainly a highlight of Stewart's adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir of the same name,

She presents Lidia Yuknavitch’s story as a series of impressionistic closeup moments that sear themselves into you as if every shot were a sentence ripped from a hidden diary. This is the beauty of what movies can do.
