SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM


What initially seems to be a slice-of-life drama eventually reveals itself as a paean to the difficulties, and rewards, of making art.
— David Sims, The Atlantic

108 minutes. Rated R. Directed by Kelly Reichardt. In English.

A sculptor preparing to open a new show must balance her creative life with the daily dramas of family and friends, in Kelly Reichardt's vibrant and captivatingly funny portrait of art and craft.

“Together, Reichardt and Williams—with little dialogue and boundless generosity—lucidly articulate everything that Lizzy will never say and need not say, opening a window on the world and turning this wondrous, determined, gloriously grumpy woman into a sublime work of art.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times
