Lucky (2017)

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.

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!

Lucky is a beautiful and soulful note for the late Stanton to go out on. A southern character study about faith and death, that finds honest hope even in the most dire and lonely points of life. Stanton is so good you could easily convince me he isn't acting at all.

Last movie one actor films is always a sad occasion even if that actor lives to be over 90 as Harry Dean Stanton did. This fact represent the main quality of ''Lucky'', a painfully slow story about the 91-year old atheist starting nowhere and leading us there. Long cuts, wide frames will mimic the spirit of ''Paris, Texas'' but in an empty way, as so will the vague and disdainful dialogues of the other characters irritate the mind of even a beyond average viewer. ''Lucky'' is the last movie of a really great actor and nothing more than that.
