This movie belongs to the Berlin School. I've seen school trip before, the first movie by Henner Winckler and it just felt weird to me. But when I saw that this is by the same guy I thought I should give it a chance.
Lucy is about a girl named ... Maggy. She is around 18, lives with her mother and has to care for her Baby Lucy. Lucy's father left her and we start off with them breaking up. When she finds a time to go out, she meets a boy called Gordon. They fall in love and 2 weeks later, after a fight with her single mom she moves in with him. First they are happy but soon, everything gets worse, because life isn't easy.
This, like School Trip, isn't a movie with real actors. They are all laymen from Berlin. While it threw me off while watching School Trip, in this movie I knew what to expect and embraced it, so instead of just feeling bad this felt actually real. I guess that's also because in this the characters are at least a bit likeable. Of course this is a very German movie and would probably feel crazy to non-germans. It even feels a little crazy to me.
But all in all I enjoyed this. If you wanna see something different, this is pretty interesting and watchable and most of all it is something completely different. I rate this 3.5 stars and a like.
