The usual offering from Reichardt (that's fully intended as a compliment), but more tragic and a less smooth narrative than her other films. As is expected of a Reichardt film, the cast is all superb and the pacing of the film is almost perfect. Not only does Reichardt have a very good eye when photographing but also when editing. Rating may increase on additional viewings.

Slow, heavy, and with only the faintest glimpses of hope. I love how the film sidesteps opportunities to paint certain characters as antagonists and instead allows the real antagonist to be circumstance. "Can't get an address without an address, can't get a job without a job." There is one scene that is the tensest I've felt in a non-horror/thriller film in a while. Fans of the pacing found in films like Leave No Trace or Shotgun Stories will likely find a lot to enjoy in Wendy and Lucy

No person is an island, but some are exiled anyway, and some are self-imposed exiles. Reichardt doesn't dwell on how Wendy and Lucy came to be in this predicament, only that they are. It's that pragmatism - unembellished, matter of fact, and in the moment - and a restrained performance by Michelle Williams which turn this film's apparently ordinary manner into extraordinary feeling. It is immensely upsetting.
