FILM: Lucky

5/5/26 Lucky 

(USA, 2017, 88 mins, color, R) 

Starring Harry Dean Stanton, Tom Skerritt, Ed Begley Jr., Ron Livingston and David Lynch 

“Lucky” follows the journey of a 90-year-old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his off-the-map desert town. He finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration. - Letterboxd.com 

“The movie nurtures a quiet sense of mystery, content in the knowledge that neither an upbeat mind-set nor a cruel, nihilistic one can really capture the full experience of life as it's lived.” Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times, 9/29/17 

“Tracing every step of Lucky's protracted daily routine becomes a powerful exercise in both empathy and discomfort as he ponders the meaning of life and the inevitability of death, without the balm of spirituality.” Leah Pickett, Chicago Reader, 10/5/17
