Don't take that post as being detached - I'm sobbing for real over this.

Michelle Williams actually plays a hipster the audience can sympathize with. This would have made a better short film though

It's not a big gem, but it's a perfect gem. So real and honest you might feel you're living it instead of watching it.

I liked it but I didn't love it. Michelle Williams makes it worth watching for another solid perfomance.

read a lot about this being "a statement on 'the economic crisis'" before watching, but i don't feel that way at all. it seemed to me that the movie is not attempting to "achieve" anything or be rhetorical in any way, which i liked a lot. it was highly realistic, in that i can very easily imagine this literally being "real life" that someone secretly filmed in a cinematic style i enjoy. an emotive, interesting movie

Even though the political undertone sets as the cornerstone of the film, how Reichardt took it as a stepping stone to blossom an emotive projection through Michelle Williams' exceptional acting is what makes me think that Reichardt is so good! Also, Reichardt (and writer Jon Raymond) sets an example of how to strip it down to bare is an effective way to give a subject matter it's justice. That 7$ scene.... wow

Had to watch this again. Just so things would be put right again between me and Michelle Williams after the SHUTTER ISLAND debacle.

Just re-watched this last night and loved it so much more than I did the first time. Maybe it's because I know a dog that looks and behaves a lot like Lucy does, but this film made me get all emotional! And that's a good thing. Michelle Williams has a really captivating presence, in my opinion. I hope her collaboration with Reichardt continues for years to come.

In the same vein of Italian Neorealism, it seems that any time a recession plagues the collective consciousness movies about struggle and the grim realities of our world get made. And this is a fine citation.

Filmed with a quiet naturalism that evokes the meandering, meditative quality of Wim Wender's early road movies.

as minimal as this film was in terms of setting and dialogue, it's the kind of film that Cassavetes would of loved if he were alive today. it's a take on humanity in the modern times we live in and it's done in a way that silently crushes you with each harrowing encounter, no matter how small it seems. as depressing as it may seem, it gives me a glimmer of hope that people still understand and care for each other.

This film captures movement very well. A rare, quiet story that is too often kept from the American imagination.
