SHOWING UP

Saturday, March 25 | 5:15 PM | Capawock Theatre

Dir. Kelly Reichardt | Drama | U.S.A. | 2022 | 1 hr. 48 min. | Rated R

In her fourth collaboration with indie favorite Kelly Reichardt (First Cow), Michelle Williams joins fellow 2023 Oscar nominees Hong Chau (The Whale) and The Fabelmans castmate Judd Hirsch in this subtle, funny film nominated for the Palme d’Or at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. A Portland, Oregon, sculptor navigating a host of personal problems while preparing for an important show, she’s distracted by a neglectful landlord who’s also a rival artist, an injured pigeon she feels obliged to rescue, and family drama with her separated parents and bipolar brother. While these misfortunes might make for screwball comedy in another film, Reichardt once again deftly shows how the chaos of life can elicit sympathy and humor.

Tickets for this screening are general admission, and pay-what-you-can.
