      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Lucky Them may not quite live up to Toni Collette's bravura starring performance, but it's certainly elevated by it.

      KB B It was pretty entertaining but was a bit long. I'd never want to watch it again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Alec B There are a lot of clichés present here, but thankfully the film knocks most of them down in the end to ensure it's main character doesn't have too happy of an ending. Collette's charming as ever and Haden Church gives one of his weirder performances (which I do mean as a compliment). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Shari H Fun movie. Not exquisite but good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Audience Member horrific screenplay about a self-centered, slutty, immature, alcoholic, sexaholic, shallow, morally bankrupt woman who uses everyone around her. Has some very good actors, but they could not possibly save this trashy movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review darth darth b Acting veterans struggle to make a standard tale of the veneer of halcyon days seem interesting, with humor so parched as to challenge the assumption of comedy itself. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member toni collete is always good. the surprise johnny depp cameo at the end was actually a detriment to the movie. I understand the desire to have a star in that role that surprises at the end. the problem is that we were so distracted by johnny depp that we couldnt appreciate the actual moment, and beautiful and tender moment at that, because we were so caught off guard. not to mention the entire movie is about finding this person. its hard to think of anyone that would have lived up to an entire movies worth of hype. i think the movie would have been better off if we knew what he looked like before hand but it was actually just a no name actor of some sort instead of hoping that the star quality is enough to satisfy the audiences need for that celebrity quality from that character.

      Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic "Lucky Them" isn't a great film, all told, but thanks to the good-natured performances and the general vibe, it's an immensely enjoyable one. Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2020 Full Review Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald A study of the perils of nostalgia, Megan Griffiths' Lucky Them itself comes off as a throwback to an earlier era of low-key, whimsical US independent cinema. This is not a bad thing, considering the talents of the cast. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2015 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald The plot executes an impressive twist at the end and Collette makes such a swashbuckler out of Ellie that you're inclined to indulge her in whatever she chooses to do. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2015 Full Review Victoria Luxford Radio Times Fun while it lasts, but no more than that. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2020 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls I feel like I've met every single character in this movie multiple times. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Lucky Them is an emotionally satisfying journey, subverting expectations of the charming road movie.
