| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersThis sci-fi thriller, starring Scarlett Johansson, romps through space and time, thanks to the fast-paced directing style of Luc Besson. Who cares if it doesn't make sense? Can we have another, please? |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairLuc Besson's best movie in almost 10 years... |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoLike a vitamin sticking out of a sundae, Lucy smuggles important questions within its rambunctious, dizzy-making set pieces. And through it all, Johansson remains totally compelling. Lucy is too much fun. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookAn eye-popping fever dream of a science-fiction movie, 'Lucy' is one of the best movies screenwriter/director Luc Besson has wrought. |
| GrantlandWesley MorrisThis movie worries that humanity is wasting its potential, which is a bizarre fear for a movie that has this many nonsensical shootouts. But that's what on Besson's mind: the Big Bang and bang-bang. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerI know we’re supposed to think that Besson’s daffy cinematic calisthenics are entertaining because at least they are not boring. But I was bored. It didn’t help that Morgan Freeman shows up as a brainy scientist explaining everything to us in his deepest intonations. When was the last time Freeman, a great actor, really acted? |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonBesson doesn't claim his latest globetrotting science-fiction thriller is based on fact, of course, but its ambitions are muddled by a lack of conviction. |
| NPRChris KlimekLucy is a welcome reminder of just how much Besson's wry sensibility as a filmmaker adds to movies like this. |
| Illinois TimesCharles Koplinski"Lucy" ends up being one of the more pleasant surprises in this bleak summer, proving to be far more substantial than you'd expect. |
| TV GuideCammila CollarIf you can forgive or ignore those faults, Lucy delivers the goods by the end, both as a brainy thought experiment and as a summer popcorn flick. |
