Ruh-Roh, Wendy And Lucy Is Maybe Kind Of…Boring?

I’m still excited about seeing Wendy And Lucy, especially with all the commenters who thought it was amazing, but trusted blogger Thighs Wide Shut gives me a little pause (paws? groan!) about the potential glacial slowness and nothing-really-happeningness in this quiet movie about Michelle Williams and her lost dog. Mostly, this review just made me laugh, and will continue to even if I disagree about the film:

Trailer alot like SherryBaby’s, cause it be touting the brave acting performance over everything, that cause there aint nuttin else. Is movie Arty? Yes. Boring? As balls! If see, bring pillow, but no need bring sleep medicine.

Ugh, SherryBaby, I hate that kind of movie (see also: Waitress.) I’m still going to see Wendy And Lucy, in the hopes that Thighs Wide Shut Just Didn’t Get It, but that doesn’t mean I’m not adding “boring as balls” to my vocabulary.

I don’t like slow movies, movies that aren’t funny, or, especially, movies about desperate poor women in which the desperate poor woman is played by a gorgeous Hollywood actress (Waitress, etc.) But after seeing the new trailer for Wendy And Lucy, starring Michelle Williams as a young woman who gets stranded on a journey to Alaska with her dog, I might be ready to change. I really want things to work out for her. And the dog:

The part where she cries doesn’t really do it for me, but the part where she’s setting out on her own into the wilderness does. I really really hope this is the one movie where the lost heroine on a journey doesn’t settle down with a nice young man at the end. Man, that would suck.
