FIRSTLIGHT FILM DESCRIPTIONS

Wendy and Lucy
Thursday, December 18 at 5:00pm

Director: Kelly Reichardt.
Cast: Michelle Williams, Walter Dalton, Will Oldham, Larry Fessenden, John Robinson, Will Patton

The seemingly simple story of a woman driving to Ketchikan, Alaska, in hopes of a summer of lucrative work at the Northwestern Fish Cannery, and the start of a new life with her dog, Lucy, turns into a much richer cinematic tapestry as it touchingly addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of people’s duty to each other in tough times. (R/80 min.)

  • Spirit Award Nomination - Best Feature
  • Spirit Award Nomination - Best Female Lead

"A deeply felt road movie carefully observed, old-school indie portrait of regional American life that feels, in the best sense, as though it could have been made 25 years ago…a superb central performance by Michelle Williams should help the film reach director Kelly Reichardt's largest audience to date."
— Variety, Scott Foundas
