Leave your thoughts about Mister Lonely.
| Film ThreatDon R. LewisThe film is damn near a masterpiece. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait so long to see what Korine will do next. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerTravis NicholsKorine's latest film, Mister Lonely, is no different, but this film has a sweetness that has rarely, if ever, been present in his previous work. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisKorine is finding his way toward artistic greatness by searching his soul. It's possible that the man in the mirror is him. |
| PremiereGlenn KennyWhat to make of it all? Hard to say. Just to take in the fact that its soundtrack is made up of music by both J. Spaceman and Sun City Girls is to understand that this is a picture that's divided against itself in a way that's perhaps too hermetic to be comprehended. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottMister Lonely, self-enclosed though it may be, nonetheless demonstrates that Mr. Korine, who showed his ability to shock and repel in earlier films, also has the power to touch, to unsettle and to charm. This is undoubtedly a small movie, but it's also more than that: it's a small, imperfect world. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWhat engages us is Korine's revolutionary way of telling stories. It's as though he's downloading his dreams directly onto the screen. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThis film may be Korine's most accessible as a director, featuring characters, images, and situations that are stirring and unforgettable – even if they don't add up to a complete narrative or visual whole. |
| Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoWhile it's full of arresting, indelible images, Mr. Lonely remains mostly on the level of abstraction. You get it but you don't always feel it. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNot all of the movie works - in fact, huge portions don't - but there are enough striking moments to make a lasting impact. How ironic: In this fairy-tale of arrested development, Korine has created his most mature movie yet. |
| Chicago TribuneTasha RobinsonLike so many lovely cinematic dreams, Mister Lonely inevitably descends into nightmare, with an unsettlingly grim conclusion that, again, seems more imagistic than idea-driven. |
