"[A] shimmering, quiet treasure of a film, an elegy to mutable friendship, enduring nature, and the sense of loss that inevitably accompanies the adult pull to move forward." -- Grade: AEntertainment Weekly Included in Entertainment Weekly's "Top 10 Films Of The Year" -- "OLD JOY is a small, delicate thing, and a huge achievement in honestly independent filmmaking."Entertainment Weekly Ranked #13 in Film Comment's "20 Best Films Of 2006."Film Comment "[F]illed with the kind of unemphatic ambition and relevance that's become virtually extinct in American independent filmmaking."Film Comment 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]ts subtlety is as treasurable as an old friend."Total Film "[A] campfire monologue recalls EASY RIDER, and a wrangle over an order in a diner brings to mind FIVE EASY PIECES. As these forerunners suggest, the journey is as much metaphorical as geographical."Sight and Sound64.77599

3 stars out of 5 -- "It's a small story with a big heart that trumps a lot of the louder and more expensive machine-made Hollywood pictures."Box Office "[Reichardt] has perfected a mode of rapturous minimalism....Williams makes Wendy's total lack of affect luminously expressive." -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly "[The film] does not include a superfluous word or shot....What happens to Wendy -- and to Lucy -- matters a lot, which is to say that WENDY AND LUCY, for all its modesty, matters a lot too."New York Times "Reichardt's haunting, mournful film engages the texture of a life in which money and hope are equally thin on the ground....Williams' performance is remarkable not only for its depth but for its stillness."Los Angeles Times 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Kelly Reichardt is a true cinema poet who works miracles in miniature. And she finds the perfect collaborator in Williams..."Rolling Stone Included in Entertainment Weekly's 2008 Films Of The Year -- "[A] precise, nearly whispered story....Pay attention, and it grows into a textured ode -- or maybe it's a lament -- to a lost America..."Entertainment Weekly "WENDY AND LUCY is another illustration of how absorbing a film can be when the plot doesn't stand between us and a character."Chicago Sun-Times "Williams's performance is nuanced, moving and well worth any awards she gets."Washington Post 4 stars out of 5 -- "Far more than just a sentimental anecdote about a girl and a dog, on this exciting new director's watch a simple tale becomes the stuff of pure poetry."Total Film64.70554

Club "MEEK's CUTOFF is an ambitious feat of visual storytelling that's alive to both its landscape and the actors who people it. This is a big movie masquerading as a small one, fully awake in even its quietest, slowest moments."Movieline "In the tough and sparely beautiful neo-Western MEEK'S CUTOFF, the uncompromisingly independent filmmaker Kelly Reichardt uses landscape and natural sound to convey American restlessness and uncertainty....[A] terrific, unsettling film." -- Grade: AEntertainment Weekly 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Michelle Williams, re-teaming with Reichardt after WENDY AND LUCY, is incandescent....Reichardt has crafted a haunted dream of a movie to get lost in."Rolling Stone "MEEK'S CUTOFF is simultaneously cerebral and astonishingly cinematic, a historical road movie that stretches the inhospitable landscapes and marginal living in WENDY AND LUCY in intriguing directions."Sight and Sound 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "MEEK'S CUTOFF is more an experience than a story....[The director is] genuinely curious about the hardly-educated pioneers who were brave, curious or hopeful enough to set out on such a dangerous journey."Chicago Sun-Times0.7799139
