US drama in which an old Navy veteran who has enjoyed remarkably good health is suddenly compelled to face his mortality.
Lucky is a profound, wry, slip of a movie carried by Stanton’s moving performance. It is a fitting curtain call; one of America’s great character actors might just have saved his best for last.
In his penultimate screen performance, the late actor brings all his 90 years of experience to the sad, sweet story of a cantankerous old man.
Snappy dialogue, dry humour and odd relationships come together in splendid fashion.
Provides the late character actor with a wonderfully low-key send-off.
