Reviews for Mister Lonely
It's an endearing enough idea but the film's dark side undermines the charming set-up.

In a choice between traditional and safe and experimental and flawed, opt for the latter every time.

It's probably impossible to ever really understand what [Korine] is on about, but there are some accomplished sequences and terrific performances along the way.
11/17/07
Enjoyably weird drama from Harmony Korine with superb performances and a typically brilliant appearance from Werner Herzog.
10/27/07
It's subdued a bit, and not nearly as nauseating. And I'm not sure I mean either of those things as a compliment.
09/25/07
After eight dark and reclusive years (including drug rehab), enfant terrible Korine is back with a disappointingly slight and whimsical fable about the romance between a Michael Jackson and a Marilyn Monroe impersonators, peppered with skydiving nuns!
05/30/07
It's never clear what it all means or even if it's supposed to mean anything. Music and silliness get the picture through to its circular ending.
05/25/07
A love story that also serves as a reflection on identity, blind faith and individuality.
