	Media	Author	Review
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Anchored by Garza’s charismatic, primal turn, Your Lucky Day makes for an impressive debut that’ll leave you on edge."
		Katie Rife IndieWire	"[It] moves along at an engaging pace throughout, although it doesn't reach its brutal potential as a thriller until two-thirds of the way through. Up to that point, it's burdened by clumsy repetition of its central theme"
		Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle	"The heart is in the right place for Your Lucky Day, but the execution is a little loose (...) there’s not enough friction and surprise to create a tight holiday-set thriller (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Bob Strauss San Francisco Chronicle	"An unforgiving little thriller with a conscience and irony"
		Steven Scaife Slant	"[It] coasts far on the pleasant surprise of some sharp plotting, into a more conventional thriller groove (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Angus Cloud is magnetic in one of his final films"
		Kyle Logan Screen Anarchy	"[It] is an unrelentingly tense and emotionally engaging film (...) It’s something special, and I hope it doesn’t take Brown another decade to make another film"
		Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"It works as a genre film; it's thrilling and suspenseful, with enough twists to keep you guessing, but the pointed commentary is impossible to ignore. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
