Wendy and Lucy (film)
Wendy and Lucy is a 2008 motion-picture directed by Kelly Reichardt and starring Michelle Williams. The film employs a formal minimalist style that evolves into a subtle political road film by exposing life on the American fringe. Reichardt adapted the screenplay from Jonathan Raymond's short story "Train Choir".

Wendy and Lucy Critical reviews
Manolha Dargis, of The New York Times, said 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.
Mark Olsen, of the Los Angeles Times described the film as 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.
Kent Jones, of Cinemascope called the film "an unqualified triumph" and that "Williams gives a prodigiously focused and resourceful performance."
Larry Gross, of Film Comment characterized Wendy and Lucy as establishing "Reichardt, beyond question, as one of the few masters now working in American independent film."
The film won both Best Picture and Best Actress at the 12th Toronto Film Critics Association Awards.
