Leave your thoughts about Lucky Them.
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloDirector Megan Griffiths, best known for the grim human-trafficking drama "Eden," proves surprisingly adept at this lighter material, maintaining a slightly loopy tone that serves to make the occasional dramatic moments all the more piercing. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThis pleasant but eminently forgettable indie comedy is the sort of thing that makes you wonder whether the big names in the cast were having serious career problems, doing someone a favor, or just had a few weeks to kill. |
| Paste MagazineMonica CastilloCollette showcases this mask of exasperation with subtle brilliance. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierWhile Lucky Them may not be a classic, the actors at least find a cool groove. |
| New York PostLou LumenickClearly a labor of love for all involved. Listen carefully on the soundtrack and you’ll hear the voice of Joanne Woodward as Ellie’s mom. Woodward is one of the executive producers of this lovely little film, which is dedicated to her late husband, Paul Newman. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineChurch is a comic marvel..But the film ultimately succumbs to both obvious plotting and the law of diminishing returns. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an impressively conceived and executed little drama. |
| New York TimesRachel SaltzWhile Ms. Collette grounds Ellie and her emotions in a tough-minded plausibility, she can only hint at what the script fails to deliver: the complexities of a flawed woman’s midlife crisis. |
| TrespassSarah WardGriffiths helms the feature with low-key fondness and a lived-in atmosphere, the camera caressing the Seattle spaces the story calls home, and lingering lovingly over the more rural places Ellie and Charlie venture to. |
| New Zealand HeraldFrancesca RudkinLucky Them touches on the price of fame, and conjures up memories of Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley and Elliot Smith. But, more importantly, it's about those left behind and what they face in not knowing what happened to their loved ones. |
