The TVI Take
Kelly Reichardt's 2022 Portland-art-scene film anchored by Michelle Williams as a sculptor preparing for a gallery show while contending with a wounded pigeon her bohemian landlord (Hong Chau) keeps in her bathtub. The structural commitment to letting working-artist-cognition be the actual subject — the studio practice, the art-school institutional pettiness, the unspectacular cognitive labor of making work — is rare American cinema.
