CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for the newly released “Showing Up,” directed by notable auteur director Kelly Reichhardt and featuring recent Oscar nominee Michelle Williams. Currently in theaters, since April 7th.

Michelle Williams is Lizzy, a masters degree level sculptor in an Oregon academic community setting. She is on the cusp of being recruited into the New York City art world, with an important gallery show coming up. But for the moment she lives a spartan life in an artist’s community, aided by her colleague and landlord Jo (Hong Chau), and her continued connection to her divorced parents Bill (Judd Hirsch) and Jean (Maryann Plunkett). When her brother Sean (John Magaro) has an episode related to his ongoing bi-polar disorder, Lizzy’s gallery show is heading towards disruption.
