Showing Up

This movie follows the small distractions and issues which hinders an artists preparations for an important art show. Despite her many frustrations she tries to go with the flow and prevent the situation overwhelming her.

I found the characters quite engaging with the interactions between them genuine in an easy going way. The movie also delves into the world of a busy art college. It show the many different art forms and the unique students engaged in numerous classes and projects. It also looks at the unique relationships within a family of successful artists. The movie also touches on mental illness and high expectations affecting potential geniuses.

This is a pleasant movie and a good change from other high intensity films. It is a great movie when you are in the mood for something light.
