Uscito all’apice della grande recessione, Wendy e Lucy ha toccato un nervo scoperto con la sua analisi pacata ma emotivamente potente di come la società americana lasci da parte alcuni cittadini. E nel ruolo della protagonista la regina del cinema indie, un’insuperabile Michelle Williams.

After the discretion of Wendy and Lucy Kelly Reichardt surprised us with her own take on the Western genre: intensely focused, fascinatingly observant, and loaded with portent. It continues Reichardt’s rich partnership with Michelle Williams, but it is Bruce Greenwood as Meek who steals the show.

Kelly Reichardt’s Montana anthology was a breakout moment for rising star Lily Gladstone. Shining next to a trifecta of illustrious talent—Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams—the quietly assured actor stole our hearts as a lovelorn rancher at the tailend of this profoundly moving film.
