Diane says: “Kelly Reichardt’s latest, starring Michelle Williams as a closed-up ceramic artist, satirizes the art school scene perfectly, from funky clothing and cheese-heavy gallery openings to parent-child competition and every kind of crafts class. (I saw it with my ceramicist friend, so I know it’s true.) SHOWING UP is just as slow as Reichardt’s other films, causing 6 of the 9 audience members to make an exit well before the movie was over. That only added to the laughs. A great cast, and a sympathetic look at the artist’s struggle. 4 cats.”
