Review: Kelly Reichardt's first comedy is a wincingly funny portrait of an artist at work

More than once in "Showing Up," her wry and wonderful new movie, the director Kelly Reichardt gives us something that feels rarer than it should in American cinema: a lingering moment in the presence of an artist at work.
