Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe art pieces that Lizzy created in the movie have been made by artist Cynthia Lahti, who lives in Portland, and whose work writer-director Kelly Reichardt has followed for a long time. She also happened to be a longtime friend of Jonathan Raymond, who is the co-writer of this movie. Her work was on Reichardt's mind as she was writing the movie, but when Reichardt first contacted her, she was on the verge of giving up her career. She trained Michelle Williams in sculpting before filming, and while working on the movie, she found a renewed urge to create. By the end of the shoot, she had created so many new pieces that it became difficult to walk inside her workshop.
- GoofsIn the first scene Eric uses the kiln, he lays Lizzie's freshly glazed pieces directly on the shelves. This would actually ruin the kiln shelves and the pieces while firing as glaze melts when it's hot and transforms into a glass-like matter which would stick to the shelves.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits roll over a shot of an art student weaving on a loom.
Featured review
Going nowhere. Tedious from start till finish.
This director is known for making arthouse pictures that arent targetted at a mass audience. These are the kind of small pictures filmcritics love to watch, but I cant get excited about.
The bad: this movie is literally going nowhere. We get to see the mondane and boring life of an artist. We get to see her take care of a pigeon. Talk to her landlady etc. It's just one contineous lame uneventful portrait.
More bad: I started watching it for Michelle Williams, who has starred in some excellent pictures in the past. She can act! And although the purpose of her acting performance is to portray an uneventful life of a mundane artist, her performance didnt entice me for one second.
Only suited for fans of this director's work. Others better pass this incredibly tedious movie by...
