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 (2)
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]

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.
