WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Lucky is the quirky and lively directorial debut of actor John Carroll Lynch, but most significantly it is the final lead role for legendary character actor Harry Dean Stanton, who passed away last September after appearing in over 200 projects over a six-decade career.
