Lucky Bastard is a bold little thriller — and deft cautionary tale. Read full review

The film is most successful when humanizing the people behind the objectification, with lives beyond the smut. Read full review

The performances, especially from the bed partners, are complex; even if you weren’t wanting for an exposé of adult-entertainment violence, here it is. Read full review

In the end, considering the numerous ways the film goes limp, it seems credibility still eludes the found-footage genre. Read full review

Robert Nathan’s Lucky Bastard is a sorry-looking found-footage thriller as unconvincing as its characters’ thrashing orgasms. Read full review
