Screening over.

Rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes

Set in New York City, an ornery, chain-smoking Chinese Grandma goes all in at the casino, landing herself on the wrong side of luck…and in the middle of a Chinatown gang war.   Starring the legendary Tsai Chin (Joy Luck Club, Casino Royal, Memoirs of a Geisha) with all the feisty, grumpy, hilarious charm we hoped for.

“LUCKY GRANDMA is a wickedly entertaining dark comedy, steeped in the colors and characters of New York City’s Chinatown.” – Jude Dry, IndieWire

“A crowd-pleaser with a slyly magnetic lead performance.” – Harry Windsor, Hollywood Reporter

“A heist movie like this shouldn’t exist.   But thank god it does.” – VICE

“Outrageously funny, unquestionably cool.” – Slash Film

Language: English, Mandarin, and Cantonese (English subtitles)

Length: 1 hr. 27 min.
