Wendy and Lucy 2008 DVDSCR


“Wendy and Lucy” is the American answer to the Dardenne brothers’ “Rosetta” (1999)! Kelly Reichardt has fashioned together a quiet 80-minute masterpiece of cinematic naturalism* unadorned by excess words or music or plot points! Reichardt lends not only an earnest* authentic voice but also a patient ear to the mass of common citizens quietly suffering under the weight of a hundred tiny daily struggles* forever on the fringes of the American middle class — with the dream (or what’s left of it) never quite within their reach! And as for Michelle Williams!!!!well* she is just exquisite* heartbreaking perfection!

A woman’s life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job! When her car breaks down* and her dog is taken to the pound* the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart* and she is led through a series of increasingly dire economic decisions

Wendy Carroll (Michelle Williams)* an alienated woman who sets her sights on Alaska in hopes of starting a new life with her dog* Lucy! Several obstacles impede her progress* forcing her to confront her increasingly dire financial situation! Stranded in Oregon when her car breaks down and lacking the funds to repair it* Wendy faces yet another challenge when Lucy* her best friend* disappears!
