Allen H Williams is a good actress but unable to carry this given so little to play against. It might have worked if she had better chemistry with the dog. I just had the feeling she never had a pet dog. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review AFAN O Melancholy to a T. The actress does a good job showing us how difficult it is to be homeless. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/22 Full Review Audience Member My impression of this movie is that it moves sideways like a train on a railroad. I felt so sad about the shot of her opening the door after she finished checking each dog one by one to find his dog at the health center.Although the production was not flashy, the detailed portrayal of the film helped it stick in my mind. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This is for me personally, without question, the most depressing movie that i have ever watched . it affected me for days afterward . i suppose that it's because i was homeless for a time in my youth . that being said, it's a wonderful film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review dave s Filmmakers like Kelly Reichardt provide a glimmer of hope for the future of film, a medium currently dominated by what appears to be nothing more than prequels, sequels and mindless action. Wendy and Lucy is a deliberate, quiet and contemplative story of a woman (Michelle Williams) traveling with her dog from Indiana to Alaska to find employment. Problems arise when she arrives in a small Oregon town where she finds herself short of cash with a broken-down car and legal problems when caught shoplifting food for her dog. Short on dialogue and plot, Reichardt focuses on one character's seemingly hopeless situation. Williams gives a brilliantly restrained performance and the heartbreaking final scene provides proof that people in desperate situations are able to make wise decisions, regardless of the bad decisions that have led them to their current plight. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is pretty spare, hangdog, indy filmmaking. I know Williams loves the indy thing, but this one was one to pass on, imo. There's just too little of what I watch movies for, like plot, learning about the character(s), character development, humor, perceptive writing, clever dialogue... We know nothing about Wendy- who she really is, why she left Indiana, what she hopes to do in Alaska besides find a job. I thought the story line about the dog was a distraction from her more than a MacGuffin or something to really drive action or conflict. 2.2 stars Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
