Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
So I had no plans of seeing this movie except that I happened to be attending a festival at Village East Cinemas and saw that "lucky" was playing with a Q/A and my boyfriend wanted to watch it. The movie is Good. Not Great but solid. The actors did a good job and the story, although familiar, (I'm an immigrant) had an interesting spin on it. It was unapologetic and I appreciated that. This is a real independent film and you can tell the budget must have been tight, which was acknowledged in the Q/A so that much more respect to the filmmakers for pulling it off. After hearing everything they had to do to get this made, you appreciate it that much more. Kudos to the team. The music was great too.
Always on the look out for new indies. Saw a good review in LA Times for Lucky. It wasn't my favorite film but it was solid nonetheless. It's a familiar story but it keeps going at a pretty good pace. Lucky and Fernando had good chemistry and I'm pretty sure we will see more work from this director. Always extra points for diversity.
Luck is one of those films that feels greatly familiar in super cinema type of way :) This is why I'm not surprised that it's having a major release.If you're looking for unpredictable entertaining film check your local listings for "Lucky"
It's refreshing to watch an original movie with new talent and twists to keep the audience engaged. The casting was done very well and the chemistry between the actors was seamless. The dark humor was unlike anything I've seen and gave way to see dimensions to the characters. We are looking forward to seeing a sequel or two of Lucky.
