Critics' reviews

"Lynch knows how to frame a shot and tell a story (...) The spiritual/religious issues in 'Lucky' are fascinating"

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"An unassumingly wonderful little film about nothing in particular and everything that’s important."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"Harry Dean Stanton gives a performance for the ages (...) It’s a wonderful performance, artfully rearranged from the remnants of a lifetime of wonderful performances."

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"Harry Dean Stanton is a living legend – and as this character study proves, the man still has a few great performances left in him."

David Fear: Rolling Stone
"The film subtly shifts from a quietly comical character study to a delicate reflection on loneliness and mortality."

Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
"'Lucky' has a pleasingly laidback atmosphere and some sublime individual moments, but on the whole this quirky, craggy character study frustrates as much as it illuminates"

Tim Grierson: Screendaily
