LUCKY — Review by Martha K. Baker

October 12, 2017July 30, 2021 Martha K. Baker (Archived Contributor) 0 Comments harry dean stanton, lucky

Lucky is barely a moving picture, until it is. Watching paint dry involves more neurons at times than watching Lucky. Glaciers grow faster. And, then, just when it appears to defy the “moving” part of moving picture, Lucky perks up, like a corpse that twitches. That makes watching it worthwhile. Lucky is, after all, Harry Dean Stanton’s last film.
