    I thought maybe gaining 90 pounds, getting married and moving to Tennessee would help Korine focus and make something worth watching. Nope.

    I just loathe over stylish pretentious films. Absurd, incredibly boring and found nothing of interest. Just a bunch of artsy tripe. Utter garbage.

    Nice images, boringly slow and long.

    It's incredible how blind critics and users may be, disapproving this genuinely beautiful film. Too blind.

    Beautiful images and some amazing/funny scenes. Not for everyone though. That's okay. A little self-indulgent at times, but I still really liked it. Happy to see Harmony Korine making movies again.

    A few (very few) engaging images and a few (very few) engaging performances. If you want a plot with your story, this is not the movie for you. Extremely self-indulgent film making.

    This is one of the most interesting films i have ever seen. It is an artistic achievement that i believe is far ahead of its time. every scene is brimming with such playfulness and originality that i can't help but compare Korine to that of early Jean- Luc Godard. Mister Lonely is almost pure movie.

    Amazing movie. Funny. Clever. Bittersweet. Reading behind the lines is included.

    This movie seems very polarizing for obvious reasons. It's classically structured, but deliberately, deliriously non-linear. If you're willing to look past its outward weirdness, there is great beauty and some truly genius film making. Korine's best yet!

    The film is damn near a masterpiece. Let's hope we don't have to wait so long to see what Korine will do next.

    Less outre than "Gummo" and "Julien Donkey-Boy," 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.

    I'm glad Korine has pulled himself together, but the film is pretty ramshackle, full of obvious group improvisations that fail to spark and an overdose of bathos.
