Wordiezett So much average
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
un_velcro This is an example of pure music. It was shot in a time when Elliott Smith was still on an indie label and the music he plays only took one take. It is a beautiful portrait of an extremely talented young man creating very good music. It is very peaceful and somber. It shows Smith in Portland Oregon - around town, recording in a rehearsal space and a bathroom with just an acoustic guitar. The film has a tinge of sadness to it, but overall it left a happy impression. The music and the film are both very pure and emotional. Jem Cohen is truly great. He spoke at my college tonight (Ball State University) and his other works are very good, as well.
graemehill This film a beautiful portrait of one of the greatest musicians of the last decade. It's an brief look into his world, with Elliott playing three songs for the camera in a small room. The three performances - 'Between the Bars,' a cover of Big Star's 'Thirteen,' and 'Angeles' - are intercut with footage of his hometown, and of him wandering around it. Lucky Three is a powerful film, and an special look into an artist who, during his brief life, shied away from the spotlight. A must see for all fans of Elliott and the wonderful music he left behind.
