Hirayanagi’s idiosyncratic touch marks her as a talent worth tracking.
Variety
[T]hanks to writer-director Atsuko Hirayanagi and a core cast of outstanding performers, OH LUCY! almost never loses its footing on its way to becoming one of the most entertaining and original films of the year.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
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.

Terajima's 'Lucy' magnificently wields the full spectrum of emotions to deliver an imperfect character that's broken yet still willing and able to heal.

An idiosyncratic character study suggesting that the road to self-knowledge is beset with obstacles and uncertainties.

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.
