Lucky Grandma Ratings & Reviews

good vibes.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
The exhuberant vitality of Lucky Grandma is a delight, with a wonderfully droll performance by Tsai Chin.
AWFJ.org
Jennifer Merin
Filmmaker Sasie Sealy's Lucky Grandma is a darkly comedic drama and unexpectedly poignant action/thriller romp.
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
Lucky Grandma is as delightful as it is weird. It's also a celebration of cranky chain-smoking grandmas everywhere.
AWFJ.org
Sandie Angulo Chen
The fact that Lucky Grandma not only features an all-Asian cast but stars a tough-as-nails octogenarian makes it an even bigger win.
AWFJ.org
Cate Marquis
Sasie Sealy's darkly comic action/adventure drama Lucky Grandma focuses New York's Chinatown and Grandma Wong, played with irresistible, irascible charm by Tsai Chin.
Brightest Young Things
Ross Bonaime
With a relatively simple script of escalating obstacles by Sealy and co-writer Angela Cheng, Lucky Grandma has fun with its concept without overstaying its welcome.
Chicago Reader
Anne Cohen
In this incandescent and utterly delightful debut, director Sasie Sealy delivers a sparkling movie that centers the story of an elderly woman of color with the agency, care, and attention it deserves.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
She and she alone makes the movie worth your time.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
Lucky Grandma's combination of genre fundamentals and refreshing reconfiguration make it an inspired and worthy comic noir.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
The fusion of Andrew Orkin's score and Eduardo Enrique Mayén's cinematography, which coats everything in the grimy yellow of a lifelong smoker's room, tips the hat towards noir, but Sealy balances that with a deft wit and charm
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Rarely turning her camera's gaze away from the formidable Wong, director Sealy situates her protagonist in a Chinatown brimming with inviting cultural and social details.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
What ultimately makes it all work so well is Tsai Chin's endearingly gruff performance.
IndieWire
Jude Dry
"Lucky Grandma" is a wickedly entertaining dark comedy, steeped in the colors and characters of New York City's Chinatown.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Angie Han
This is such a stylish and sharp movie with such a strong sense of the setting... I had so much fun with this.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
It exemplifies the potential of a more inclusive cinematic landscape, one that is guaranteed to alter the predominant Hollywood beliefs regarding what constitutes a mainstream appetite.
New York Times
Devika Girish
"Lucky Grandma" puts an older Asian woman center stage without infantilizing her or rendering her pitiful.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Lucky Grandma" affords Chin a leading role she clearly relishes.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
This isn't a movie about money at all, but is instead a search for the dignity and respect the elderly deserve in a world that too often chooses not to afford it.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Chin is plainly the film's greatest asset, a terrific actor with great comic timing and a tendency to underplay her character's reactions, which helps to offset the relatively broad performances that surround her.
