Before Harry Dean Stanton passed away in September 2017 at the age of 91, he had the good fortune of being given the opportunity to star in one last film. Lucky might just be the most fitting swan song an actor has ever had.

The directorial debut of actor John Caroll Lynch, this beautiful film captures the real Harry Dean Stanton in a way even a documentary couldn’t. It seems as if it was written just for him. The film dramatizes moments from his real life from his daily exercises to strangers and acquaintances he encounters at the local convenience store, diner and bar. The film’s quiet simplicity is rare these days, and draws you in instantly, bringing you into a world you never want to leave.

Lucky is available to stream on iTunes, Google Play and Hulu.
