Too much attention is paid to Mike Leigh’s famous method for “devising” his screenplays. It is well known that he imagines characters and a situation, casts actors to play the characters, joins with them in workshops where the dialogue and the plot take shape, and only then writes the screenplay. Quite true, but that doesn’t mean he’s winging it; his “Secrets & Lies” (1996) reveals a filmmaker who works with the most delicate precision to achieve exactly what he desires. The payoff for his method comes in scenes like the film’s two very long and unbroken takes, when he calls on his actors to use the disciplines of the stage as well as the screen.

“Wendy and Lucy” (R, 80 minutes). Michelle Williams plays a lonely and brave young woman, bound for uncertain reasons to Alaska, whose car breaks down in Oregon and who loses the dog who is her only companion. Broke, hungry, she wanders an unfamiliar town, is threatened once but is mostly befriended, in an evocation of resolve in the face of emptiness. Sad and beautiful. Directed by Kelly Reichardt. Rating: R, for language.
