Drifter Wendy (Michelle Williams,) camping out in Oregon on her way to find work in Alaska, travels alone except for her beloved dog, Lucy. So when Lucy goes mi... read more

Michelle Williams is one of the photogenic face in Hollywood and also like her performance. But won the negative impression of mine over portrayal of her character in 'Take This Waltz'.

"May 5th Directed by: Kelly Reichardt Simplicity is the main thing that I feel runs through the veins of every Reichardt film. This could be seen as very simple, but can be read many different ways. I can't help but notice the individual versus the organization, and our character contrasted with those who are bound by their constituents. The story is told beautifully whatever you choose to glean from it, but it really connected with me for some reason. Kelly Reichardt is easily one of my favori"
