"Beautiful and haunting." - David Denby, The New Yorker
"Thanks to an extraordinary performance from Michelle Williams and an exceptionally deft hand from her director, this low-budget and loping little film is a genuine heartbreaker." - Stephen Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Michelle Williams gives as lovely a performance as a moviegoer could ask for." - Joe Morganstern, Wall Street Journal
"The strength of this short, simple, perfect story of a young woman and her dog is that this does not seem, by the end, to be an idle or trivial question. What happens to Wendy — and to Lucy — matters a lot, which is to say that WENDY AND LUCY, for all its modesty, matters a lot too." - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
Wendy Carroll (Michelle Williams) is driving to Ketchikan, Alaska, in hopes of a summer of lucrative work at the Northwestern Fish cannery, and the start of a new life with her dog, Lucy. When her car breaks down in Oregon, however, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she confronts a series of increasingly dire economic decisions, with far-ranging repercussions for herself and Lucy.
WENDY AND LUCY addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of peopleʼs duty to each other in tough times.
