Actress/filmmaker Barbara Loden both directs and stars in the stark little character study Wanda. She plays a girl from a remote mining town, timidly searching for security and love in the big city. After several desultory and abusive relationships, Wanda is "saved" by Dennis (Michael Higgins), who turns out to be a petty crook. Stylistically, Wanda is spare, lean, and understated -- on every level. Loden originally shot the film on 16 mm, then blew it up to 35 for arthouse showings. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

| This takes some effort to get through. Very slow, but some of the photography is very moving. Still, Barbara Loden's performance is so vacant, it's hard to work up any sympathy for the character. I spent most of the film trying to decide if Wanda is retarded or depressed or just has a really flat personality. |
