Product Description
The most critically acclaimed film of the year, WENDY AND LUCY is a touching political road movie about an idealistic young drifter, her faithful dog and the wide-open spaces of the Pacific Northwest. Played by Academy Award-nominated actress Michelle Williams, Wendy is a down-on-her-luck girl who's hoping to turn things around for herself with a summer job in Alaska. On route to her new life, Wendy s car breaks down in Oregon and the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart. Gorgeously filmed in stark, luminous imagery, WENDY AND LUCY addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of people's duty to each other in our modern times. Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams stars this powerful drama from Kelly Reichardt, director of critically acclaimed OLD JOY. Reichardt continues to show her remarkable gift for classically simple, deeply engaging storytelling. Manohla Dargis, writing in the NY Times about Cannes hailed the film as a pitch perfect triumph.
