补个英文版 « Anchored by a magnificently empathetic turn from Chang Chen, …… We can read all this into Lu because of the wonderfully restrained turn from Chang Chen, the Taiwanese star of major films from Edward Yang, Ang Lee, Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Wong Kar-Wai. Given his pedigree, he might have treated “Lucky Lu” as the kind of vehicle that is built to give a big star some indie cred, but there is no showboating here, just a profound investment in the humanity of a character who barely allows himself a moment to be human, let alone to ponder his luck. » — 《綜藝Variety》 « Chang Chen anchors Lucky Lu with a master class in restraint. Without shouting or melodrama, he conveys a man hollowed by sacrifice yet unbowed. A slight tremor in his hands, a tightened jaw or the flash of pain in his eyes reveal more about Lu’s past than any line of dialogue. In the face of mounting losses, Chen’s silent dignity becomes an act of defiance. » —GAZETTELY(Zhi Ho) « It may be especially moving for cinephiles to see Chang Chen in the lead as the world-weary father after practically growing up on screen in the films of Wong Kar-Wai, Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-Hsien, but that history isn’t necessary to feel he’s extraordinary as Lu, a man of unassailable dignity but questionable choices whose frailties are exposed well before his family notes that he’s far skinnier now than when they last saw him in China. When Lu is capable of terrible decisions — usually amongst a see of bad options, Chen makes him still impossible to dismiss and Choi ensures that there’s plenty of compassion to go around in a place where it seems like there’s none, perhaps the most impressive skill on display in a film where it feels like the weight of the world is on its lead’s shoulders with its level of immersion. There may be a bit of irony in the title “Lucky Lu,” but it’s sincerely breathtaking. » —The Moveable Fest(STEPHEN SAITO)
« Chang Chen is magnetic, carrying the weight of quiet turmoil and endless obstacles with gripping intensity. Empathetic, emotionally layered, and deeply moving. » —— @cinemaspodcast « Chen's performance is the film's aching core. He brings layers of vulnerability, weariness, and resilience to Lu, often without a word. » —@nextbestpicture «Lucky Lu» by Lloyd Lee Choi, an Asian-American director invites us to a cruel dive into the Asian community in New York. References to the «bicycle thief» of Vittorio de Sica are implicit. The film is held at arm’s length by the remarkable interpretation of the first male role of Chang Chen, a leading Taiwanese actor. ---ASIAN MOVIE PULSE.COM(Jean-Marc Thérouanne)
「張震飾演的陸,是今年最出色的表演之一。他以自然又壓抑的方式,展現了一個人為了家庭、再到為了自己而強撐下去的巨大壓力。這種真切幾乎讓人難以直視,尤其是在他被貧困逼迫做出那些道德上艱難抉擇的時刻。」 Chang Chen’s central performance as Lu is one of the best this year, a sensational display of naturalistic stress he forces himself to push through for his family’s survival first, and then his own. He anchors the film in a manner that appears so genuine it’s hard to watch at times, especially as he’s forced to make tough moral choices that poverty can thrust upon us. --- film-news.co.uk
