She's an extremely purposeful and visionary director, one of the best working today. She's emphatic to her subject matter and clearly has a way with actors. Despite the slow pace of each and every one of her films (which shouldn't put anyone off who's actually interested in meaningful movies), I really like her editing style as well. 'Night Moves' is my fave, brilliant character study.

[@adwaitdeshmukh5931]

So glad this video exists. Reichardt is definitely underrated.

[@Indietrix]

Adwait Deshmukh she’s fab! Consistently, quietly making wonderful films.

[@SamxHardscoperx]

Thank you for this video. I searched Reichardt’s name to hopefully find a video that talked about what her directing style is like, and I enjoyed this very much. Out of curiosity, I bought Old Joy when it came to Criterion Collection this past December, and it was one of my favorite movies I’ve ever seen! Being from Oregon and missing it, that movie was a special experience. I decided to check out another of her films, and Certain Women being the only other Criterion release of hers, just ordered that. Happy to go into it with an understanding of Reichardt as a director, thanks to you :)

Not gonna lie. Really bummed you didn’t talk about Night Moves. That flick is SOOO good

[@musgrave6886]

she has become a fave filmmaker of mine because i really like slow cinema.

[@DianaTBlack]

Thank you - this offer's great insight into Kelly's aesthetic and POV

[@falsea8964]

really enjoyed this guide, and definitely hope to see more for other indie film directors.

[@gregartlip5201]

Really enjoyed this video about Kelly Reichardt as she is very talented!

[@thevoid99]

with the exception of "showing up" and a few short films, she's definitely among my favorite filmmakers working today.

[@funeralforahorse]

Yeah Showing Up was a real misfire imo. I can’t quite describe what it is that I didn’t like, because I’m used to her sparseness and minimalism and I like it in her other movies. I think it’s just because the characters are so well-off and the stakes are the lowest stakes I’ve ever seen

[@zigzagwanderer]

Amazing, thank you. Excited to explore more after seeing Meek's Cutoff.

[@princegobi5992]

brilliant

[@delrey874]

She's a great director with a great technique.

[@sandierzen7300]

cool !

[@jacobmacdonagh4070]

When is this being released in the UK?

[@lwlies]

There’s no UK distributor yet sadly

[@jacobmacdonagh4070]

Little White Lies That’s annoying, hopefully it gets picked up soon because I’m dying to see this

[@lwlies]

@@jacobmacdonagh4070 Fingers crossed! We'll let you know if we hear anything

[@edm5378]

When you think of the soul & innards of white feminism, the Williams-Reichardt duo certainly tops the list. Chiefly through Williams' manner of industry climb.

[@plasticweapon]

oh god, not this !@#$%

[@hertzdem1]

Meek's Cutoff=paint drying.

[@carravagio16]

maybe but what a beautiful color it is
