Review of Wendy and Lucy (2008) by Alberto Enrique Z — 29 May 2009

Simple and small indie movie that show us the honest, brutal truth of now.

I found beauty in the silence and it's full of details. The director makes feel audience kind of voyeur, until the point to feel compassion and frustrated because u just want to help Wendy in some way.

Very close and intime film just about a young american girl making her way to move to Alaska for better opportunities, in company of her lovely dog Lucy, and wants to get on her way as fast as possible before her money runs out.

The narrative is quite simplistic, confirming one more time the simplest stories are the most effecting.
