Mister Lonely Ratings & Reviews
Paste Magazine
Alissa Wilkinson
Besotted with its own playfulness, Mister Lonely gives off the distinct impression that it was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This 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.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
In contrast to the grimy and occasionally grotesque Gummo (1997) and Julien Donkey-Boy (1999), this drama has a more gentle, Felliniesque feel.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film doesn't work, and indeed seems to have no clear idea of what its job is, and yet (sigh) there is the temptation to forgive its trespasses simply because it is utterly, if pointlessly, original.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
Korine falls so thoroughly in love with many of his images, including his opening shot, that he stretches them out in hypnotic slow motion.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
Korine may have an original voice and eye but can't really think of anything interesting to do with them.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Like Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth, the film has overarching problems yet contains diamonds of clarity and inspiration that you won't find in any dozen movies. You'll have to mine for those diamonds, though.
Variety
Scott Foundas
Korine's most lavishly produced pic to date begins as a sweet-tempered tale of social misfits-turned-celebrity impersonators, but falls short of its ambition to say something meaningful about the obsessive nature of celebrity culture.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A visually and conceptually mesmerizing and mystical movie.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Sporadically poetic but largely a chore to sit through.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Harmony Korine's films thrive on uncertain ground. Exiting the theater, you're never more aware that ten people can sit next to each other but see ten different films.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
While 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.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
In its slightly comical, somewhat mordant, and completely ambient way, Mister Lonely wonders about the perils of idol worship, the way people can hand their entire selves over to a religion, be it Catholicism or celebrity.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
[Harmony] Korine hasn't released a feature film in nine years, and his new Mister Lonely is richer and sweeter than anything he's ever made.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Occasionally there is a striking image or a moment of wounded sweetness, but mainly the film provides ample proof that it's possible to be bizarre and boring at the same time.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
In this fairy-tale of arrested development, Korine has created his most mature movie yet.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Mister Lonely has its moments of wonder and beauty, but the film is obscure by design, and meant to appeal to those who favor the alternative canon of directing greats.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
After Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy, the director Harmony Korine evinces a kind of integrity -- he tries never to entertain, and lo, he succeeds.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I will end with the faint praise of Mister Lonely as the least offensive of the works in the Korine canon.
