Mister Lonely (2008) **** Well, it's been 8 years since Harmony Korine made a film. The last time we saw him was in Julien Donkey-Boy, before that Gummo. Both those movies passed through eyes of which the majority had no understanding.... Full review

http://eattheblinds.blogspot.com/ With his new film Mister Lonely, Harmony Korine boldly declares what many have suspected since his first feature Gummo: that's it, that's all folks. Korine is by no means status quo and his fixations have little range outside of what... Full review

Since no one makes movies like Harmony Korine, I'm not sure what the standard for critique is. So suffice to say it's really beautiful, unsettling, rambling, and actually kind of spiritual. Love his movies or not he is an honest filmmaker... Full review

There is a certain idiosyncratic appeal to this small 2008 piece of strange whimsy thanks to Harmony Korine's ("Gummo") wholly individualistic film-making style. Co-written with his brother Avi, he has created an admittedly weird if visually arresting film that opens... Full review

Mister Lonely is one of the most original films of this year, or any year and with a plot consisting of a young man who makes a living as a Michael Jackson impersonator, you would have to agree. Michael soon... Full review

MISTER LONELY (Seville/Paradox) Judging by Mister Lonelys low-key reception thus far, Harmony Korines long hiatus from feature filmmaking has badly diminished his cool factor.
Too long by half an hour, the movie badly belabours this point but its depth of feeling is a welcome surprise.
