Critics Consensus

A rich blend of thrilling horror and sharp social commentary, Lucky acts as a bloody good calling card for director Natasha Kermani and writer-star Brea Grant.

Flat film, without rebound, boring at times. This film is too politically marked

Buena idea, pésima ejecución. A la media hora ya sabia como terminaba y eso nunca es bueno.

We've seen the ‘groundhog day' idea make its way into horror movies a number of times in recent years. It's a fresh enough spin on the idea and I liked that it played up the psychological aspect of it more than the comedic. Hated the ending and got no real conclusion or explanation for why it was happening or what was 'lucky' about it.

An insultingly bad film. A repetative obvious social comment and nothing else. A story so bland, shallow and unimaginative as to be painful to watch. An interesting premise and a worthwhile message but delivered so poorly.

I was in on this movie, but I was trying really hard to understand the meaning behind it all. Obviously it's female trauma, but perhaps the filmmakers could have done a better job conveying the message.

The writer of this film started to write and it looks she didnt know hi to finish it. After the first 30% it just groundhog day.

As the filmmakers dial in tighter on those keen observations, their movie gets more and more chilling.

Lucky makes absolutely the right choice by having Grant taking the lead in her own script.

Natasha Kermani's Lucky is a reflection-provoking thriller that surprises right from the beginning. Once we think we know what's going on, Kermani changes course. The whole cast is thoroughly riveting, especially Brea Grant.

Rated: A-

Critically Acclaimed Podcast

A slasher about the unending tide of condescension experienced by women every day. One of the best films of 2021.
