Overview
In the days leading up to a possibly career-changing exhibition, a sculptor navigates her relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
Michelle Williams is stellar in her understated role. That said, this movie – not unlike Black Bear or The French Dispatch – did not seem to be accessible to me. I felt like I was at a museum where the art was beyond my comprenship. While the movie was not about the actual art of making sculptures, I felt like I needed to be a sculptor to “get” the movie.
