Michelle Williams Getting Oscar Buzz

Michelle Williams and 2-year-old daughter Matilda Rose is all smiles as they head to the doctor’s office in New York City on Monday morning.

The 28-year-old actress stars in the upcoming Kelly Reichardt-directed film, Wendy & Lucy. It’s about this woman Wendy (Williams) whose life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job. When her car breaks down, and her dog Lucy is taken to the pound, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she is led through a series of increasingly dire economic decisions.

Wendy and Lucy has garnered an impressive 89% on RottenTomatoes.com, so obviously Oscar buzz is being generated. Watch the trailer at FirstShowing.net.
