Wendy and Lucy. Some random low-budget or indie or film festival or some crap movie from a collective called mongrel media or something. I watched another one of their movies called One Week before Wendy and Lucy, and it was pretty good. Wayyyy too Canadian (but this is a good thing).

Wendy and Lucy is amazing. It's about a girl (Wendy) and her dog (Lucy) and their journey to Alaska. Basically the story starts with them at random point X on their journey. Wendy's car breaks down in a random town and things just start to go to - and she has no money! She gets arrested for stealing dog food for Lucy, and that's when stuff gets really depressing because: (minor spoiler) (SPOILER)Lucy is missing from the pole outside the grocery store after Wendy is released from fingerprinting etc..

It is a really well made film. If I remember right, there isn't any music in it at all and the dialog is pretty sparse too. The girl who plays Wendy is amaziiiiiing~~ There is one specific scene where she sleeps in a forest and a crazy guy comes up to her and she has a little freak out after. Honestly two of the best scenes in any movie I've seen.

Overall, the director does the whole "this isn't a feature film therefore has to have extended shots of dark forest with train noises in the background" thing a lot. And by that I mean some scenes drag on for too long - but the plot and characters and acting way than make up for it.

THE END IS THE MOST HEARTBREAKING THING EVER.
