Showing Up Ratings & Reviews
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
Appropriate for its visual art milieu, Showing Up entreats us to carefully observe.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
Once you get into the mood that it'll never explode into anything revelatory, it's genial enough.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
That this moody, woozy character study falls closer to the "masterpiece" side of the fence isn't a surprise, considering it comes from Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams, one of the best filmmaker-actor duos of the last quarter century.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
The on-the-surface modesty of Showing Up is a kind of sorcery. It's in the days afterward, when you've left its spell and gone back to the world, that its essence is more likely to take shape...
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
Brilliantly nuanced and meticulously observed.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
There's something a little too neat about the structure of "Showing Up" ... but the piercing specificity of Reichardt's vision, and her insights into the dynamics of an art scene like the one in Portland, are spot on.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Audiences need to meet it halfway, with their eyes, minds and emotions open. Those that do will have a fulfilling and memorable experience.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Kelly Reichardt... turns her thoughtful attention to the act of creation itself, rendering both its transcendence and mundanity with equal curiosity.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Reichardt reflects an abiding respect for artists and their freedom to explore and process while Williams inhabits the soul of a creative being in every frame and every second.
The New Republic
Vikram Murthi
Showing Up's unassuming canvas carries the weight of creation -- its difficulty and necessity in atomized times -- and though it never preaches, Reichardt maintains there's worth to the work, even if the precarity never disappears.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
This is the cinematic equivalent of a great still life of a bowl of fruit: The technique is undeniable, but it's just a bowl of fruit.
The Atlantic
David Sims
What initially seems to be a slice-of-life drama eventually reveals itself as a paean to the difficulties, and rewards, of making art.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It is a serene, pulse-lowering charmer.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Reichardt likes to watch, and the new movie is at its most serene when it parks the camera next to a student working on a painting or a pot or an installation or a dance and just lets the footage run.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The film is a testament to my favorite kind of character, the ones who go about their lives in a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other manner.
AV Club
Manuel Betancourt
Like Lizzy's sculptures, there's a wounded tactility at work here-in miniature, even. What you get out of it will depend on your patience for such thoughtful if prickly work.
Chron.
A.A. Dowd
The comedy is often as dry as an untouched paintbrush.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
[Reichardt and Williams's] shorthand creates its own universe, and it's as insular as the world they're depicting. Outsiders will likely feel like they're showing up without an invite.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Not only is Showing Up the best movie of the year, it's arguably the one most in need of rescue. That's your cue, friends.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
There's been no better movie to encapsulate the year, and no better movie, period, than Kelly Reichardt's matchless Showing Up, which is all about making art in a world that also requires you to make money.
