Samenvattingen(1)
Harry Dean Stanton is Lucky, een nukkige, kettingrokende atheïst op leeftijd. Iedereen kent Lucky in het zonovergoten stadje in Arizona. Veel gebeurt er niet vandaag, en morgen waarschijnlijk ook niet. Lucky keuvelt en kibbelt met een excentrieke groep dorpsgenoten en toevallige passanten, onder wie David Lynch, die zijn schildpad is verloren. Ondertussen moet hij vrede maken met het idee dat ook zijn leven eindig is. (Filmfreak Distributie)

Recensie (3)
John Carroll Lynch surprised me in a great way. He directs his debut film with sensitivity and humour, creating an almost philosophic work that offers different possible interpretations. With so many symbolic scenes punctuating the storyline, each viewer will have their own understanding and find their holy grail. Lucky can be about old age, about life, about death, about missed opportunities – and, most probably, about all of that. Who knows. Lucky will get under your skin. It got me for sure. The great David Lynch in the secondary role moved me greatly. However the star is, of course, Harry Dean Stanton; this is his swan song and one of the best filmic farewells ever. Let’s welcome that with a smile! [KVIFF 2018]

Lucky really hit me hard. It's incredible that Harry Dean Stanton got to end his remarkable career with such a beautiful film – many other acting legends can only dream of such a fitting farewell. The film is packed with symbolism, and if it resonates with you, it will stick in your mind for a long time, giving you plenty to ponder. Each character is intriguing and has a clear place and purpose in the story. Fans will also enjoy the cameo appearances by many film icons, with David Lynch standing out in his most substantial acting role. Lucky is rich in thought and emotion, making me laugh, cry, and completely captivate me. It's movies like this that remind me why I'm a film enthusiast. Thanks to everyone involved for this wonderful film, and especially to Harry Dean Stanton for his lifelong contribution to cinema – your legacy is unforgettable.

An old man chattering about nothing in particular rather than about life. Lucky offers likable characters and an attractive environment, but both are underused. And Lynch spouts one inanity after another, without adding another dimension to the film by linking it to the motifs of his works. I can imagine a more atmospheric, poetic and meaningful version by Jim Jarmusch, for example. And that’s a great idea.
