WENDY AND LUCY (OmU)

Wendy and Lucy

(2008)

Minimalist filmmaker Kelly Reichhardt struck gold with this simple tale of a drifter named Wendy (Michelle Williams) travelling with her loyal dog Lucy to Alaska in search of work. Wendy leaves Lucy outside a supermarket and tries to steal dog food for her - unfortunately she’s arrested. When she’s released from the police station, Lucy is gone. So begins her search for her best friend, and an emotionally wrenching journey that will hit home for anyone who has ever loved a pet. The film is also rich in criticism of American capitalism - much like The Florida Project. Ticket link coming soon!
