Reception

Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Jiang’s gentle satire is really allowed to blossom with the time it is given to breathe during those long takes, a mature creative choice for a young filmmaker to make. It was the right one this time around, and it effortlessly immerses viewers into the story’s opportunistic environment."[1]

Sarah Ward of Screen Daily gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Brimming with aesthetic confidence, emotional candour and thematic conviction, Looking for Lucky certainly isn’t looking for a voice, a style or something to say, marking its guiding hand as a talent to watch."[2]
