    A Sad, Beautiful, and Important Film

    by WinstonSmith

    No, WENDY AND LISA is not the mindless, upbeat fantasy that most of the other reviewers seemed to expect that it would be (didn't they watch the preview?). Instead, it is a poignant and courageous examination of the grim economic conditions in a declining United States. Thank goodness that a few artists, such as the director of this movie and the actress Michelle Williams, can address these realities in a compassionate way, and thus take up for the impoverished, the homeless, and the disenfranchised...groups that the very people who dissed this movie may soon be joining.

    WAKE UP AMERICA, YOUR COUNTRY IS GONE.

    Lovely Film for a Small Audience

    by heddache

    I really enjoyed it but wouldn't recommend it to most people. Only if you enjoy quiet, contemplative, understated movies where it's more of an experience of a time, place, character or circumstance. If you enjoy films that don't give you everything and you get to wonder about all that isn't spelled out for you, this film is for you. Michelle Williams was wonderful, gave a performance that was mysterious and touching, vulnerable yet tough.

    In many ways this is the very definition of a small, independent film. Enjoyed by few, but for those who enjoy it it's a gift.

    wendy and lucy a wonderful moving film

    by saenz-movies

    the movie was a wonderful and moving film. the film "an unqualified triumph" and that "Williams gives a prodigiously focused and resourceful performance."

    the director of the film Ms. Reichardt makes palpably, tragically real what it means to be struggling at the very edge of the economic abyss. WENDY AND LUCY is political to the bone but without any of the usual grandstanding.

    I believe the film is a keenly observational look at the increasing struggle to just get through the day. With a riveting, delicate performance by Michelle Williams, the film builds to something enigmatic and moving.

    I totally recommend people to see this beauty of a wonderful film
    so go see it
