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.

Michelle Williams and Kelly Reichardt team up for another sublime character study in "Showing Up".

Director Kelly Reichardt has a group of actors who are eager to work with her time and time again, including Michelle Williams, who stars in her latest film "Showing Up." Reichardt's resources have grown since her first collaboration with Williams, but she still works with small budgets and often in and around Portland, Ore. Reichardt's lack of hierarchy on set also manifests onscreen, in some of Reichardt's artistic choices. Reichardt is described as a "genius" by Williams and a "rascal" by Hong Chau, who makes her Reichardt debut in "Showing Up."

Reichardt discusses her love for the beginning process of making films, the pressure cooker of shooting, and the joy of editing. She also talks about her reputation as a tough teacher and the challenges young artists face in finding their voice.

Michelle Williams and Kelly Reichardt discuss their latest collaboration, Showing Up, which depicts the struggles of a Pacific Northwest-based sculptor trying to balance a day job with her passion for art.

Reichardt adds that paying the bills and securing health insurance are and always have been major topics within her sphere of artists. Showing Up premieres Friday, April 7 in theaters.
