DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Anssi Vartiainen Harry Dean Stanton's second to last film role and the final film he saw to the end. A film about an old man, whose prodigious age is finally catching up with him in a small American town.The film certainly has a message to carry, something to say to its audience. Unfortunately, while the central themes - those of death, loneliness, regret and remembrance - are clear enough, nothing much gets said about them. Or rather, the film tries to have so many conversations happening at once that none of them gets enough focus to crystallize into something.The film is certainly pretty enough, though. The Arizona desert provides some profoundly beautiful landscapes and serves as a fitting background against talk about dying and having lived an imperfect life.Acting is also nice, the characters are suitably personable and feel like real people. It's just the script that keeps it all from being anything at all. It very much feels like I'm witnessing a commemorative final episode of a decades long TV series. Which is kind of fitting, admittedly, but at the same time it's not like I'm going to get anything from watching such an episode.I cannot help but feel like this is one of those films that I just don't get. The critics seem to love it, so apparently there is something to get. I just don't.

mikhailkomiakov It seems that the script was not much longer than the synopsis. The movie is pretentious and doesn't have that much of a deep meaning. The main character is written pretty badly so that affected the mr Stanton acting. Its cheesy, undpredictable and not believable. As for about mr Lynch's acting it's just god awful. From the beginning till the very end you wait when the movie to start, but it never happens. This flick is about nothing as the actors say it themselves. Usually it's not a problem when there's something else to compensate the lack of the good script. But this movie is just blend, uninspired, corny, empty.

Thomas Drufke A film about nothing much more than just a man nearing the end of his life and searching for meaning and enlightenment, Lucky provides 90 minutes of subtle humor, joy, and melancholy. In his final film role, Harry Dean Stanton gives what felt like an Oscar worthy turn as the titular character who seemingly can't die and is surrounded by people who think they know what's best for him and the world better than he does. Putting a cynical man on a spiritual journey can either be a frustrating or beautiful watch. While there isn't a ton of plot nor dialogue, Lucky is the type of sublime journey that will undeniably make you smile.7.0/10

billcr12 Harry Dean Stanton's last film is a perfect ending to the actor's life. Here is as a cranky 90 year old man. He watches game shows, and does crossword puzzles, while smoking cigarettes and drinking bloody Mary's at a local bar. he also visits a nearby diner on a daily basis, to drink coffee and trade barbs with fellow town residents. His outlook is grim, no God, only an unknown and expanding universe. I am thirty years from 90, but I have a similar view of life as Lucky. Stanton should have been one of the five nominees for the best actor Oscar. I'm sure that he will be part of the tribute of those we've "lost" in the past year. Once again, the Academy blew it.
