About This Movie

Lucky (2018) offers a blend of comedy and crime within a drama that captures the hustle of contemporary life. Following Lucky Barima Mensah, a university student, the film dives into the awkwardness of youth and social pressures. The pacing has this erratic feel, reflecting Lucky’s frantic attempts to make something out of nothing. The atmosphere is lively, yet it has an underlying tension as he navigates through the chaotic world of gangsters and scams. What stands out are the performances—there's a genuine relatability in Lucky's character, which makes his misadventures engaging. And although the direction might not be as recognized, the film's heart lies in its portrayal of friendship and the absurdities of trying to impress someone in the age of social media.
