Directed by Kelly Reichardt from a script by her and Jon Raymond, it does not move fast. In fact, Vanity Fair calls Reichardt "the American slow-cinema maestro" and Jack is not a fan of slow cinema so he was less enthused than I. But I was transfixed by the long sequences of artists making art, shot at the actual school. Portland sculptor Cynthia Lahti was about to retire when Reichardt hired her to create Lizzy's pieces.
Ethan Rose is credited for the soundtrack but I can't find it streaming. However, someone has created an Apple Music playlist of songs from the movie, many of which I've had to skip because the lyrics interfere with my composing sentences.
Williams and Hirsch were last blogged for The Fabelmans, Chau for The Menu (I didn't mention her in the cast of dozens in Asteroid City), Plunkett for The Family Fang, and Magaro, Reichardt, and Raymond for First Cow. This is Rose's fifth feature.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics made appearances with an 88% average, while its audiences preferred not to, at 45. We rented it on Apple TV/iTunes on July 29, and kept watching for more sequences of artists making art over the end credits.
