Review of Wendy and Lucy (2008) by Dudette P — 29 Mar 2009
One of the year's best. I know she got accolades for Brokeback but this is the film that revealed Michelle Williams as a great actress that will be around for as long as she wants to be. I saw this at the perfect time because, like Wendy, I'm an outsider from the midwest who comes to Portland, jobless, broke, and desperate.
Even without those pangs of recognition, I would still love this film. To me, Michelle Williams' character is like Jim Stark from Rebel Without A Cause: the embodiment and/or encapulation of young Americans at a certain point in time.
Arguably my favorite film of 2008, only Let the Right One In and The Wrestler come close.
