Lucky indulges in all of the horror movie "tropes" but it does so with a purpose.

Lucky is not perfect, but metaphors rarely are. There are jarring narrative jumps that never resolve and a superficiality and dry humor that keep the intensity fairly low. But the message is a blunt one. And given the heavy topic, this levity works in the film’s favor.

This clever thriller teeters on the brink of abstraction, and walks a razor wire between horror and an incredulous absurdity meant to stand for how women must live in the modern world: the daily toll of living in fear of aggression, physical assault and withstanding the misogynistic structures that excuse them.

Lucky is not simply not a rape-revenge film. It's a brutal, brilliant rebuttal to the idea of a fit of cathartic violence.

If you know someone who doesn’t quite grasp the emotional terrorism behind concepts like gaslighting and victim-blaming, sit them down with Lucky.

Grant and director Natasha Kermani (“Imitation Girl,””Shattered”) package their “message” into a pretty clever if not all that ambitious thriller, with Grant our stoic heroine, fighting the good fight, night after night, plainly able to “go it alone” but maybe wondering if it’s worth it.

Grant and Kermani skillfully keep the audience in suspense from start to finish, even if it’s just by withholding what the heck is actually happening.

(Mauro Lanari)
Before I was against the use of metaphors because they are too conceptual and not accessible to every viewer, now I discover that even some authors no longer know how to manage them. Perhaps the Natasha Kermani's second movie would like to be the obsessive neofeminist denunciation of toxic masculinity, then on closer inspection the female figures do not behave better and the suspicion arises that the protagonist has a hallucinatory pathology or that she is living an eternal "groundhog day" according to the idea of Nietzsche, the only thinker mentioned by her philosophy teacher husband. Chaos.

Weird movie, starts off interesting, the gets silly. And then it's just too on the nose.
