Synopsis: ‘Lucky Them’ tells the story of Ellie Klug (Toni Collette), a rock journalist who is given the painful assignment of exploring her own past by her magazine’s editor (Oliver Platt). It’s like a 12-step program - except she never volunteered. This film is a semi-autobiographical tale about a writer who is still dating musicians and finding her way at a time when most of her contemporaries have settled into stable lives, Lucky Them ultimately reveals how we mythologize the people we love and fall into patterns formed from the wreckage of our relationships. Joined by eccentric would-be documentarian Charlie (Thomas Haden Church), Ellie sets out on an emotional treasure hunt in order to finally rid herself of her “ghosts” and get on with life.
