Cinema legends Werner Herzog and Anita Pallenberg costar.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "Korine has come up with a surreal, absurdist fantasy about fame and faith. It's every bit as idiosyncratic as his earlier movies, but more obviously open-hearted and less given to sensationalism."
Total Film - Tom Charity (04/01/2008)
"[W]hat's most striking, and most surprising, about MISTER LONELY in the context of Korine's other work is the uplifting experience it offers..."
Sight and Sound - Catherine Wheatley (04/01/2008)
"MISTER LONELY is enigmatic, its moods and meanings sometimes elusive, but nearly every frame is an image of arresting clarity and beauty."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (05/02/2008)
"Harmony Korine revives his signature surrealism in MR. LOVELY....Full of arresting, indelible images..."
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano (05/09/2009)
