Review of Wendy and Lucy (2008) by Justin A — 01 Jan 2010
In what can only be appropriate, this film left me absolutely speechless. I want to watch it over and over again, several times in a row constantly. Why I only got around to watching "WENDY AND LUCY" now is beyond me, and I do feel quite ashamed.
Everything about it was wonderful. Michelle Williams was genuinely lost within her character, so much that you won't feel as if she (or an actress for that matter) is playing a part. The term organic gets tossed around a lot within films that depict a kind of ultra-realism to a certain degree. But "WENDY AND LUCY" had one of the most fluid and the most natural movements of any film I've seen. It felt like a ballet with finely tuned steps of sweet nature, strong emotions and curiosity all strung together as really beautiful whole.
Maybe it's just the mood I'm in right now or maybe it truly is how I will feel about it days and years to come, but I honestly could say it's one of my favorite films ever -- or at least one of the best of the Decade. Can I give this 6 out of 5 stars?
