Entertainment Reviews:
Optimism sneaks into OH, LUCY!, an against-the-odds charmer about a woman, a tragic wig and an improbable journey. It’s a near-minor miracle that just about everything works in this emphatically modest comedy-drama...
New York Times
Rating: B --
Nothing here is wrapped up with a red ribbon the way it would be in an American film, studio made or otherwise. Oh Lucy! has the guts to leave things messy and unkempt, just like life.

[T]hanks to writer-director Atsuko Hirayanagi and a core cast of outstanding performers, OH LUCY! almost never loses its footing on its way to becoming one of the most entertaining and original films of the year.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/5 --
The writer-director uses one woman's life as a bizarre-but-funny vessel for humans' capacity for change.

Rating: 3/4 --
What makes Hirayanagi's iteration of this familiar theme appealing are the quirky characters, the nuanced performances, and the curious cultural topography of Tokyo.

Boston Globe
Rating: 3/5 --
At its best, it's a comedy of miscommunication, one that hits an occasional rough spot when the location shifts from Tokyo to SoCal and a chase ensues between Lucy and her mother and sister. 2017.

Director and co-writer Atsuko Hirayanagi has a knack for staging scenes in a way that makes them intriguingly uncomfortable...
