Parent chat guide

After watching Luck, you might ask your children what they thought about the idea of a world where luck is made. Discuss whether they think people can create their own good fortune through their actions and attitudes. The film presents an opportunity to talk about how we respond when things don't go our way.

You could explore the friendship themes by asking about the characters' relationships and how they help each other. The movie shows characters working together despite their differences, which can lead to conversations about cooperation and empathy. Consider discussing what real-life 'good luck' looks like versus what's shown in the fantasy world.

The concept of luck versus hard work is worth exploring with older children. Ask them whether they think the characters' successes come from luck or from their own efforts and choices. This can help children think about personal responsibility and how our actions influence outcomes in our lives.
