Are you an artist? Do you have impostor syndrome? Does it feel like everyone is getting on with their lives except you? Well, let me tell you: IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD.
This movie has taught me that in adulthood we accept one another as we are. Just like Jo accepted Lizzie.
This movie has taught me that things take time.
This movie embodies the weakness and fear inside all of us. The voice that doesn't speak up and piles up thoughts upon thoughts upon thoughts.
If anxiety and calm had a baby, it would be this movie.
I don't recommend watching this. Great performances from all the actors. But that's about it.

What I have learned : Eli's Review
A Test of Patience
I've been a fan of Kelly Reichardt's other movies, notably "Wendy and Lucy" and "First Cow," but this one left me cold.
Michelle Williams plays a sullen and mousy artist who walks around in a fog of frustration over not having enough time for her art because of the demands of other people. I can get on board with a slow burn that reveals bits and pieces of a character's inner life that finally coalesces into something like a whole. But that doesn't happen here. At the very end of the movie, there are some moments that I liked and finally made me start to understand some of the circumstances that contributed to Williams's character being the way she was. But then the movie just abruptly ended, and the pay off was not anywhere near recompense for the tediously slow and border line boring movie that led up to it.
There is a running storyline with an injured pigeon that results in obvious and over used symbolism.
Grade: C+
