Wendy and Lucy

Wendy Carroll (Michelle Williams) is driving to 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. When her car breaks down in Oregon, however, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she confronts a series of increasingly dire economic decisions, with far-ranging repercussions for herself and Lucy.

Winner of the Palm Dog and nominated for the Un Certain Regard Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Nominated for Best Feature and Best Female Lead (Michelle Williams) at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. Voted among the Top Independent Films of 2008 by the National Board of Review (USA).

"Evanescent and intangible, it dissolves into the air, leaving something tragic and mysterious behind." - Sam Adams, The Los Angeles Times
