Thematically it resonates very strongly with its lead, of course. But the dialogue is awful (apart from when Harry is very obviously coming up with it himself, eg the war stories) and the characters are annoying clichés. The scenes in the bar are so awkward they’re almost unwatchable. I can kinda see what Carroll Lynch was going for there (convivial matron holding court), but he landed very far short

Not only is this an excellent film with a great ensemble cast, Harry Dean Stanton gives an incredible performance (right near the end of his own life).

"Realism is a thing". A remark made by the titular character - seamlessly portrayed by Harry Dean Stanton in his crowning swan song - that perfectly fits this movie. "Lucky" feels so naturally informed by life that you tend to forget how well-written it is. Its resonance is so grounded that even its comparatively bigger, more moving moments are unadorned and "small". Crucially, Lucky's character arc - his spiritual journey - is grand without being too complex. Or rather exactly because of that.

A terrific swan-song for Harry Dean Stanton, whose Lucky character is as entertaining to watch as the supporting characters. This film manages to be amusing and lightly philosophical without pretension or cliche, it's an endearing delight without avoiding dark subject matter.

This feels like watching the end of an era of Americana. Impermanence, Harry Dean Stanton, transience, and David Lynch's pet tortoise.

I liked the titular character, a somewhat curmudgeonly old man who isn't keen on other peoples attitudes and who is stubborn but yet is still, beneath it all, a decent guy, just trying to get by. Of course the fact that his name is Lucky is a bit ironic given not everything has gone his way. I suppose he's a bit of an underdog type character, which its often said Americans love. The film itself is quite understated but I enjoyed it regardless.

David Lynch has a monologue about a tortoise that will knock your socks off. Lucky is a great vehicle for Harry Dean Stanton, and the entire cast is packed with excellent character actors, fitting from a director who's a legendary character actor himself. Great acting and character work and a script with just enough strong moments

A few have said this felt forced. I didn't perceive that at all. Stanton is a frail 90 year old man. Based on what little I know about him, this is an autobiographical film. He has always played himself to a large degree, and that's what's made him great. He brings his own captivating and unique charisma. Lucky is no exception. If you're looking for a plot, look elsewhere. This is a story about finding peace in letting go of what you can't control and the fear and isolation that accompany it.

Harry Dean Stanton'un metaforlarla dolu son filmi. Tek başına yaşayan emekli askerimiz Lucky, bizim için şehir onlar için köy yaşamındaki rutinini anlatıyor. Ölüm kapısını çalmasa da hayatın sıkıcılığına gem vuruyor. Gıcık metaforlar. Yemişim sigarayı.

If you like Harry Dean Stanton this is a great movie. If you dislike Harry Dean Stanton we can't be friends. Some of the details in the writing could feel contrived if they didn't feel so true to the central (non)performance. Most of them ARE true actually and this kinda functions as a poignant autobiography of sorts. A humble and heartbreaking tribute to "the greatest character actor of all time" and his cranky yet uplifting life philosophy at the brink of the end. Realism is a thing.
