Overview
Wendy, a near-penniless drifter, is traveling to Alaska in search of work, and her only companion is her dog, Lucy. Already perilously close to losing everything, Wendy hits a bigger bump in the road when her old car breaks down and she is arrested for shoplifting dog food. When she posts bail and returns to retrieve Lucy, she finds that the dog is gone, prompting a frantic search for her pet.
This little indie film was regarded as one of the best such films of its release year. The movie is about a woman who seems down on her luck as she tries to cross the country to find a better life. A lot of the reviews that I saw seemed to assume that she was in this position because of the economic downturn in our country. To me that seems a bit presumptuous because she seems to make one bad choice after another. Sure, she seems like a good person but….. Anyway, although the last scene is tremendous I did not think it was anything special.
