It's a bit scattered, and each of its three stories turns on a bit of a melodrama. It's not perfect. But it does work.
The seeming randomness of the assorted human interactions in "Hello Lonesome" gradually becomes illuminating and just a little bit profound.
The parts are ultimately greater than the whole, but Adam Reid's offbeat debut suggests a talent worth watching.
Manages the considerable feat of creating six fully human characters who are quirky enough to transcend the stereotypes found in a typical indie film.
Though it can occasionally seem like an indie-dramedy answer to The Grudge, structured to pack in the maximum moments of whimsical connection instead of supernatural kills, the film does find something deeper in its treatment of Smith and Lloyd.
They all run aground on questionable decisions, ranging from minor annoyance to insurmountable obstacle.
Audience Reviews for Hello Lonesome
Exploring common everyday challenges of living may not be what we look for in movies, yet Hello Lonesome is a tasteful, genuine and essentially complete cinematic rendition. Bravo for its sincerity and crafted charm.
Each story sounds so promising to develop separately under the big theme of loneliness & alienation. It just turns out to be really separate & cold when putting them together.
The parts are ultimately greater than the whole, but Adam Reid's offbeat debut suggests a talent worth watching.
