Among one of the rare U.S film in the sidebars this year comes the Un Certain Regard selected, regular snail mail accepted entry from Old Joy‘s Kelly Reichardt. Once again working with very little resources, Wendy and Lucy is a road movie minus the road and becomes a film that confronts our own inability to depend on strangers or others for aid/help an in the same vein it’s about giving a better life to (in this case Lucy) those who are involuntarily put in a bad predicaments.
Turning out many indie performances over the last years, Michelle Williams plays the protag, and for the late p.m. screening was on hand along with Reichardt and many of the film’s technical people and no name actors.
