Justin Lin has carved out a unique niche in Hollywood with his latest project, *Better Luck Tomorrow*, a poignant low-budget indie film premiering at Sundance. The story of John Chau (Sky Yang), a 26-year-old missionary seeking to convert an Indigenous tribe in remote India, unfolds with stunning intensity.
The film is both emotionally resonant and visually striking. Sky Yang anchors the role with raw emotion and humor, while Lin’s directing craft shines in the harrowing opening scene and haunting montages. The narrative weaves together John’s desperate attempts to survive with his faith-driven passion for evangelism, creating a deeply human story.
Packed with performances (including Radhika Apte as the tribe’s leader) and sharp storytelling, *Better Luck Tomorrow* is a testament to the power of independent cinema. It’s a film that transcends its tragic subject matter, offering something universally relatable in its exploration of faith, loss, and survival.
For fans of Lin’s previous work or those seeking a thought-provoking cinematic experience, this one won’t disappoint.
