	Author	Review
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Murray packs the screenplay with enough jokes to keep the film feeling light and energetic, which helps toward the middle when Sam’s repeated mishaps start to feel repetitive, slackening an otherwise tightly conceived story"	POS
United Kingdom	John Nugent Empire	"['Luck'] doesn't come close to Pixar in its pomp, but it has enough imaginative animation —and dancing bunnies— to at least keep tiny people engaged (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"While the new studio's debut can't touch 'Toy Story', it's an auspicious start for a talented group of storytellers"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This robotically made animated tale leads a young woman to a secret world that will surprise no one (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A beautiful coming-of-age parable (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"The plot of 'Luck' is far too dense and convoluted. I suspect the movie’s target audience won’t have the patience for it"	NEG
United States	Pete Hammond Deadline	"With lovely animation and a sweet script by Kiel Murray, director Peggy Holmes captures just the right tone that kids will eat up and won’t bore their parents"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Skydance Animation's first movie for Apple TV+ is some of the most unfortunate kids fare of the streaming age"	NEG
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"Registers as original enough conceptually to maintain one’s interest as we follow the formulaic structure of its screenplay"	NEU
United States	Ross Bonaime Collider	"Possibly the biggest surprise to 'Luck' is just how generic and uninspired it feels, despite how many ideas are crammed into this story"	NEG
United States	Jennifer Green Common Sense Media	"This charming animated film manages to maintain a sweet innocence without compromising its desire to layer in ideas and characters that can be appreciated by more mature audiences"	POS
United States	Hoai-Tran Bui SlashFilm	"'Luck' feels destined to gather dust in Apple TV+'s library"	NEG
Canada	Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"While short on laugh-out-loud moments, 'Luck' is charming and whimsical, with a voice cast that brings their distinct talents to the film"	POS
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"'Luck' is undoubtedly a fascinating thing to watch – just not if you’re a child"	NEG
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"A light, coming-of-age comedy that is pleasant and briskly told, the first full-length feature released by Skydance Animation is perfectly fine"	POS
United States	Brent Simon AV Club	"The result is a movie that feels like a very colorful, moving instruction manual, in which things… just happen"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Guardian	"The debut from John Lasseter’s Skydance studio is over-wordy but still full of fun (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"The character design is rubbery and off-putting, the dialogue is inane, the antics are forced, and the mythology is mind-bogglingly convoluted (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"'Luck' could have been something special, but its filmmakers lacked imagination which boxes in the film from the beginning (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The enchanting setting becomes a backdrop to action that’s dispiritingly mundane"	NEU
