Johansson stars as Lucy, a woman who gains psychokinetic abilities when a nootropic, psychedelic drug is absorbed into her bloodstream. The film received mainly positive reviews and critical acclaim. A review from The Guardian notes, the end of the movie goes completely off the rails, but in a way that is charming in its stupidity. Later in the review, it's noted, even with only 10% of my brain, I can see that while this movie isn't what I typically call good, it is undeniably enjoyable mindlessness. Of the character, Johansson told Vulture, it was challenging in a different way because the character is in this constant state of transition and struggles to hold on to the nuances of herself and her life that make her who she is, that make her human in her mind. In comparison to the work that I was doing when we met, it seemed like a totally different challenge. It just fit. I didn't even know how to do it. I just felt I could. She also was intrigued by what overall themes in the film, adding, the goal is to not make it a story about revenge and not have the performance be monotonous or robotic. It very well might be. I'm not sure that I succeeded in making it anything else. Netflix subscribers have been praising the film on social media. One user wrote, The movie Lucy on Netflix crazy good.
