Michelle Williams Shines in Kelly Reichardt's 'Showing Up' Character Study.

Michelle Williams stars as a sculptor in Kelly Reichardt's new film, Showing Up, which explores the relationship between art and the day-to-day struggles of life. Williams' character, Lizzy, is a part-time sculptor who works an admin job to pay the bills, and the film celebrates the art world while emphasizing that fame and money are not necessary to be an artist. Reichardt's warm and inviting comedy is one of her best, and Williams gives a wonderful performance as a character who is just as much an artist as her more successful rival.
