There is no doubting that Kelly Reichardt is a director on the up. Her 2006 sophomore feature Old Joy captivated those within the independent milieu and, despite some minor flaws, her latest effort Wendy and Lucy continues to heap praise on what looks to be a bright directorial future, in the American-indie genre.
Wendy and Lucy is the story of a mammoth road trip from Indiana to Alaska, whereby Wendy (Michelle Williams) has only her dependable dog Lucy for company, as she chases the promise of a summer job in a fish cannery.
