Lucky is a lovely, small film. It's an ode to living. A farewell to a well-lived life, and an acceptance of what comes after.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 19, 2022

Harry Dean Stanton felt perfectly comfortable accepting dozens and dozens of small roles, but before he left this world, he resonates, as Lucky, with a soulful and matter-of-fact leading performance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2021

With a smart script, the movie is a true reflection on life and death [Full Review in Spanish]

He is proof that sometimes you really don't know what you have until it is gone. Stanton may no longer be around, but his versatile resume remains. Lucky stands among some of his finest work.

It's a blip, unlikely to make you rethink your perspective on the aging process even as it tries to convince you that what it has to say is really artful and important.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 24, 2020

It is difficult to express how much I loved Lucky, a film that can be and should be interpreted differently by everyone who watches it.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 15, 2020

In 2017 we lost Dean Stanton... but he left us with a farewell letter that will echo forever. [Full review in Spanish]

You shouldn't go see Lucky... just because Stanton died not long ago. You should go because it's a wonderful, fundamentally life-affirming film that honors much of what made Stanton so unique both as a person and an actor.

Lucky could best be described as a hangout movie, and I mean that as the highest of compliments.

| Mar 24, 2020

If you truly value cinema and the importance of an actor's craft, you'll make the effort to appreciate this affecting swan song.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2020

Harry Dean Stanton gave the movie world a gift with his last and final performance. It is a fitting tribute to a man who's body of work contained only two lead roles; in this film and in Paris, Texas.

Lucky is all about the metatextual pleasure of spending 90 final minutes with one of cinema's all-time most entertaining actors, and for that, it is a pure gift.

| Jul 24, 2019

Continuously unearths affecting ways of making cantankerous endearing.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 21, 2019

How this movie could exist so perfectly baffles me, but I'm very glad it does.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jan 30, 2019

The art of living in defiance of goodbye

| Jan 19, 2019

Harry Dean Stanton was a talent that will never be forgotten, but the chances are, once the hype from the festival circuit dies down, this film will be.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 14, 2018

Lucky is one big, warm farewell to Harry Dean Stanton, a man who didn't hug the spotlight or seek out starring roles, but who made even the smallest parts count.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2018

Lucky may be a movie devoid of intense conflict but it's the warmth that the film exudes in all of its characters that make it a wonderful little movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 30, 2018

Most actors don't get the opportunity to dictate their cinematic epitaph, and Lucky makes for a lively wake.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2018

Lucky is, according to its creators, a "love letter" to Stanton. At times, this tribute exceeds the purpose of showing how lovable the honoree was. [Full review in Spanish]
