Led by a Terajima -- who wisely keeps Setsuko's motivations vague -- an able cast creates a genre-defying movie that takes us deep into the kind of life that normally would go unseen.

...sensitive, penetrating and frequently unsettling study of one woman's battle with regret...

Many of the performances are perfunctory and/or badly thought out (not sure what to make of Hartnett's John), but there's no denying that leading lady Terajima is a compelling screen presence. She makes it worth the visit.

Viewers won't be able to divine just where Oh Lucy! will go next.
March 20, 2018
An idiosyncratic character study suggesting that the road to self-knowledge is beset with obstacles and uncertainties.

The gags often play on stereotypes, while the drama sometimes verges on the overwrought. Yet on the whole the film is meticulously crafted; fine detailing is often absent in the usual Japanese "international" movie, whose brush of choice is broad.

It's weird, sometimes challenging and surprisingly engaging, thanks in large part to Terajima, who is outstanding.

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.

But [Shinobu Terajima's] performance, especially when matched by[Kaho] Minami's hard-sighing world-weariness, is nothing less than transfixing.

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.

Hirayanagi has a way of gradually getting inside her characters that slowly renders them comprehensively known, intimately exposed and surprisingly surprising.

Oh Lucy! is quirky and offbeat and strange and sometimes quite dark - and yet oddly lovable.
