Kelly Reichard - Wendy & Lucy

From Kelly Reichardt, acclaimed director of Meek's Cutoff, First Cow and The Mastermind. Homeless and desperate, Wendy is driving with her dog Lucy to Alaska in hopes of a summer job in a cannery. When her car breaks down en route, the thin fabric of their situation comes apart, and Wendy is faced with a series of increasingly dire challenges. Reichardt's understated approach and Michelle Williams' stunning, heartbreaking performance paints a vivid portrait of a young woman's struggle to survive in a world indifferent to her plight. Simple and direct, Wendy and Lucy is a moving meditation on resilience and the often-overlooked struggles of those on the fringes of society.
