Don't Say Good Luck

“Don’t Say Good Luck earns its tissue-box crescendo, not by torturing its audience with the mom’s declining health and death, but by following a teenager’s realization that life is not always a given.”

Monica Castillo, The A.V. Club · 83

“Don't Say Good Luck defies the streaming dramedy odds, as hyperbolic as that may sound, by presenting a narrative that is sincerely touching and surprisingly inventive, rather than becoming yet another watch-and-forget, rinse-and-repeat addition to the larger genre. And it has to be said: Sunny Sandler is truly a marvel.”

Liz Declan, Screen Rant · 80

“Coming-of-age films with variations of these characters and dynamics come around pretty often; rather more unusual are those written and played with this degree of care and compassion.”

Guy Lodge, Variety · 80

“That the film is so fine-grained in its empathy and authentic in its emotions makes its occasional, minor missteps stand out all the more.”

Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter · 80

“There aren’t many performers who light up a screen like Lynskey [...] and watching her flicker breaks your heart.”
