Editorial Rating:

The team behind Old Joy crafts another small-scale, Pacific Northwestern wonder that’s remarkable for its emotional intimacy. It’s also a strong showcase for the talents of Michelle Williams. She plays Wendy, a transient young woman who loses what little control over her life after things go wrong with her car and her only compadre (the second half of the titular couple is played by director Kelly Reichardt’s own dog). This vulnerable figure’s sudden shift to the very periphery of American society is as wrenching as it is astutely rendered.
