Lucky Them

About This Movie

So, Lucky Them (2013) is this interesting drama about a rock journalist named Ellie Klug, who's more into the party scene than actual writing. It’s got this laid-back but slightly chaotic vibe, reflecting the world of music journalism. The pacing is pretty chill, which suits the exploration of Ellie's search for her ex, Matt Smith, a reclusive rock legend. The film dives into themes of nostalgia, the search for identity, and the clash between past and present. Toni Collette delivers a solid performance, capturing that blend of vulnerability and bravado. The whole aesthetic feels quite authentic, like a love letter to the music scene, with some nice practical effects and a soundtrack that complements the story.
