Movies like Wendy and Lucy

Nomadland follows a woman in her sixties who, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad. The film's exploration of American life off the conventional path echoes Wendy and Lucy's themes.

Set on the outskirts of Disney World, The Florida Project focuses on the life of a six-year-old girl living in a budget motel. It shares Wendy and Lucy's penchant for raw, humanist storytelling as it explores the fringes of the American dream through the eyes of children.

Winter's Bone is a stark portrayal of a teenage girl's quest to find her missing father in the Ozark Mountains. Like Wendy and Lucy, it's a film about resilience and human endurance amid socioeconomic hardship.
