Is realism a thing?
Jan. 15th, 2021 11:02 amIf you’ve ever thought “Man, I’d kill for a feature-length film that’s just ninety-year-old Harry Dean Stanton wandering around, smoking, and having philosophical conversations with people about mortality,” I just watched Lucky (2017) and it delivers on that like gangbusters.
Spoilers, cw — if you’re worried, nobody dies during the course of the movie, although there are mentions of animal death, civilian deaths in wartime, etc. Also Lucky’s language sometimes includes slurs, though his heart generally seems to be in the right place, and if you’re prone to seizures from flickering lights, close your eyes when he starts to look at the flashing “12:00” on the clock on his coffee-maker.
