Kelly Reichardt | USA | 2022 | 108m
with Michelle Williams, Hong Chau, Maryann Plunkett, John Magaro, André Benjamin, James Le Gros, Judd Hirsch
From the rising tensions of a make-or-break week of a Portland artist getting ready for a big show, filmmaker Kelly Reichardt carves a profound, gorgeously layered portrait of a woman that is as much about what makes up a life as it is about making art. Michelle Williams shimmers with complexity as Lizzy, who is trying to hold things together when they keep trying to fall apart. Her hot water heater is busted, her brother might be going off the rails, her divorced parents are exasperating in their own separate ways, she’s surrounded by free spirits at the arts college where she works… and all this lies just below the raw surface of the work that feeds her soul.
It is through Lizzy’s deeply relatable, often comical, everyday tribulations on her way to a longed-desired achievement that Showing Up becomes a quiet tour de force. Out of pressurized moments of absurdity and inspiration, out of crazy-making yet sustaining relationships, there emerges the beautiful, wondrously jagged shape of a person’s life
"It fits nicely into Reichardt’s deep filmography of relaxed and resounding efforts, and possibly her lightest and most widely accessible story yet." -Andrew Parker, The Gate
"'Showing Up' is a portrait of an individual but the film is universal in the sense that it’s about a woman living in the concrete here and now." -Manohla Dargis, New York Times - Critic's Pick
"That this moody, woozy character study falls closer to the 'masterpiece' side of the fence isn’t a surprise, considering it comes from Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams, one of the best filmmaker-actor duos of the last quarter century." -David Fear, Rolling Stone
Tickets $8.75 ($8 cash at the door if available).
