A sculptor is quite nervous because her show is on Monday and there's a lot of work to do, her boiler broke down so there's no hot water, her cat caught and injured a pigeon, her dad won't listen, her troubled brother's genius is appreciated more than her own work, which, in its subtlety, reflects her nervousness and fragility.
Kelly Reichardt, as well as unglamorous Michelle Williams, and the other actors, both humans and animals, manage to show us so clearly the smallest details of these vulnerable and introverted moments in the life of an artist. Every moment of this slowed down pace is a peek into the process of making art, somewhat elusive yet very real and full of color, full of life itself.
Apart from the cinematographic pleasure, one can enjoy here the artwork of Cynthia Lahti (sculpture), Ethan Rose (ambient music), and so many others. Subtle and so skillful.
