Wendy and Lucy

This movie on netfix instant has a real gritty feel.

It has a Bard college connection.. at least in the credits.

Its a bout a girl headed with a miserable Honda Accord to the fisheries of Alaska.. Ketchican in particular. She needs a job. She has a sweet gold dog.

Its gets kind of heartbreaking as she arrives in a town outside of Portland. She came from Indiana. Her parents cannot help her out. She sleeps in her car but that doesn't work when the car needs repair. I think the point of this story is that the human spirit can take a lot bad situations. She stays strong throughout the tragedies that follow her.

The critics were correct when they mention that the character is more important than the plot. It is nice to see this for a change.

Its has a very believable set of characters in this movie.

If you can get the instant play it is worth the time to watch.
