A film about nothing much more than just a man nearing the end of his life and searching for meaning and enlightenment, Lucky provides 90 minutes of subtle humor, joy, and melancholy. In his final film role, Harry Dean Stanton gives what felt like an Oscar worthy turn as the titular character who seemingly can't die and is surrounded by people who think they know what's best for him and the world better than he does. Putting a cynical man on a spiritual journey can either be a frustrating or beautiful watch. While there isn't a ton of plot nor dialogue, Lucky is the type of sublime journey that will undeniably make you smile.
