edgardwillam I will not give more than 2 stars for this very slow annoying movie! I'm still looking for the spiritual part??? Dont lose your time to watch it!
Mauro Heredia (maurodc) I wasn't familiarized with Harry Dean Stanton's work when I went to see 'Lucky'. The only thing I knew about him was that his name sounded familiar to me, and that he died a few days before the premiere of the movie. And I must say that now that I watched it at last after seeing all the hype about it, it's quite a remarkable and brilliant work of art in every sense.It has some feeling of joy, fun, happiness and most importantly, of life. Director John Carrol Lynch shows us a portrait of a 90-year-old man and his spiritual journey through what's left for him to live. And Carrol Lynch does it in a way that is real, human, delightful and hilarious. I told my mother that the character of Lucky was probably a portrait of myself when I had that age (she laughed a lot).10/10 This is an anthem to life that has to be seen by everyone. I'm willing to check out Stanton's previous works, because he was great here. Worthy of all the hype. You got to see it.Thanks!
The Couchpotatoes I wouldn't put Lucky in the comedy genre even if you laugh a couple of times. It's more a sad movie then a joyous one. Sad because it's about an old dude with his daily routines, living by himself, and that will die by himself. The story oozes loneliness. It doesn't want you to become old when watching this movie. Lucky, played beautifully by Harry Dean Stanton, lives alone and does the same things over every single day, but he also have an interesting view on the meaning of life and other things. Those are the things that make the movie worth watching. Just don't expect much action or so because there is just no action at all. It's all about Lucky waking up and doing his daily routine, and about Lucky saying what he thinks about things. My uncle was just like that so those were the reasons I had to laugh sometimes. Lucky was worth a watch.
EnoVarma It's not a great film as such, but, then again, it doesn't really try to be. It's a simple movie about complicated people, told sincerely and with an air of ease. The result is a wonderfully enjoyable hour and a half at the cinema. We get to wander around a desolate place nobody really cares for and meet people one would very much like to share a cuppa coffee with.At the center of this free-wheeling stands Lucky. He is played by the great Harry Dean Stanton. Now, what Harry gives us here is the most honest and deeply felt acting of 2017. Yes, Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman are brilliant virtuosos, but this right here is what connecting with an audience (an audience you as an actor don't even see) is all about. We are not watching a brilliant actor performing for us - we are there with Lucky/Harry. This is screen acting on a different level. "Lucky" serves as further proof that no matter how good you are, you don't get award recognition if nobody sees your work. Practically no one outside the festival circuit saw this film, even though it got great reviews and Harry was deservedly praised. Hence, no awards glory for Harry. Instead, he won our hearts. And I will forever hold Harry in my heart, The Actor's Actor, who couldn't have given a bad performance had he tried. And Lucky was his final masterpiece.
