Some reviews about Anya Taylor-Joy in 'Lucky':
"This show is an acting tour de force, especially when it comes to Taylor-Joy, who gives a career-best performance as the titular Lucky. Given how much of the show is just her face covering most of the screen, Taylor-Joy carries the story on her shoulders, portraying the desperation, the exhilaration and the cunning that Lucky goes through in the story."
"Taylor-Joy is a reliably magnetic lead for a show like this, in part because she's so good at nonverbal expression. She's an actor you want to watch not just talk or fight or run, but to listen, react, and assess. She keeps the heartbeat of the show steady, allowing the actors around her to flourish... and her performance makes you want to root for her. The result is a show that's hard to turn away from, and a thrilling showcase for one of our finest young actors."
"It’s incredible how Taylor-Joy is able to make each glance a calculation, yet she never allows the character to become emotionally distant... No matter what Lucky does, even if it is questionable, you know exactly why she does it. It just proves yet again what a talent Taylor-Joy is when it comes to making a vulnerable and confident character in one."
"Taylor-Joy is clearly angling toward the same kind of physical, action-forward register she’s been building more of lately through her earlier works, and "Lucky" gives her room once again to prove she can carry that alongside real dramatic weight."
"Taylor-Joy brings the necessary confidence to her confidence woman, while still conveying the childlike fear inherent to a character who’s felt trapped her whole life. She’s cool without being remote and vulnerable without being anyone’s victim."
