How Michelle Williams and Kelly Reichardt sculpted a tortured artist in 'Showing Up' -- and why Williams doesn't read her movie reviews
) The respite between publicity campaigns was brief, but she's back, now promoting a smaller but no less dazzling film from a frequent collaborator."I imagine you just want to crawl into bed right now," said Reichardt."Is there anything I wouldn't do for you?" quipped Williams in response.

Like the pigeon, Lizzy's career is struggling to take flight. Frustration and ennui are taking their toll. She looks tired, leaden; moving through the world as if the air were made of cold soup. Williams offers a brusque, flinty turn as a character all too happy to gripe — and all too proud to ask for help. In a community of artists, she comes across as very alone.
"When the art department was burning pieces, deciding on when it was ugly or when it looked better was such a tangle. It was such a huge thing that we lost half a day shooting," Reichardt recalled. "You could really experience Lizzy's dilemma. It showed you what kind of person you were. If you were like Andre's character, it was groovy. If you're more of an A-brain, it's really screwed up.
