“With uninflected realism, an attentive camera and no weeping strings, 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.”
- Manolha Dargis, New York Times
“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.”
-Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
"An unqualified triumph. Williams gives a prodigiously focused and resourceful performance."
- Kent Jones, Cinemascope
"Wendy and Lucy establishes Reichardt, beyond question, as one of the few masters now working in American independent film."
- Larry Gross, Film Comment
“Gorgeous and Heartbreaking”
- New York Magazine
“'Wendy and Lucy' is rated R. It has some swearing, a little drug use and a
brief implication of violence, but no nudity, sex or murder. The rating
seems to reflect, above all, an impulse to protect children from learning
that people are lonely and that life can be hard.”
- AO Scott, New York Times |
