Four films from one of America’s most distinctive film-makers to tie-in with the release of Kelly Reichardt’s thriller Night Moves.

The standout is the heartbreaking Wendy And Lucy, in which Michelle Williams’s drifter goes in search of work in Alaska, along with her beloved dog, only to break down in rural Oregon.

Williams also stars in Reichardt’s tense Western Meek’s Cutoff, set in 1845 along the Oregon Trail.

The set is completed by her debut River of Glass, never released in the UK before, and the minimalist Old Joy, in which two old pals reunite for a camping trip.
