Lucky (2017)

"Among the most pleasant surprises in the later years of David Lynch's career has been the veteran filmmaker’s emergence as an eccentric character actor. Lynch’s signature on-screen presence is a kind of stiff-necked, whiny agitator, always determined to be making some kind of point. In episodes of Louie he is a comedy mentor crossed with a drill sergeant; in the new Twin Peaks (expanding a pre-existing character) a hearing-impaired FBI chief; in The Cleverland Show the voice of Gus, a bartender with a dark side. "

"Everything Harry Dean Stanton has done in his career, and his life, has brought him to his moment of triumph..."

"Actor turned director John Carroll Lynch gets out of the way of his star and lets him cast his spell one final time."

"Nothing much happens in "Lucky," and then everything does."

"Recorded with discernible affection by director John Carroll Lynch, whose camera is intent on letting you know that this is a life worth lingering over."

"No one who cares about movies and those rare actors who can elevate them into something unforgettable would dream of missing this scrappy, loving tribute to a virtuoso."

"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."

"It feels like a gift from one outstanding character actor to another, but never one that indulges the thesp at the expense of the film."

"What better way to end such an illustrious career than to smile in the face of death? Seems like a very Harry Dean Stanton thing to do."
