Regular people. They're charming and flawed, and they're all trying their best, just like the rest of us. There's a voiceover artist who lives and works in his underwear from his self-made mountain utopia and his opera loving postal deliveryman. There's a sassy suburban widow in her seventies and her vaguely peculiar but quite witty next-door neighbor. There's an adorable young couple that meets online and jumps right into a hot and heavy relationship - despite some potential red flags. These three pairs have suddenly found each other, and while the couplings are anything but perfect, there is a magic in the way they come to depend on one another. Because when you're alone in the world, sometimes all it takes is one person who cares about you to make all the difference. -- (C) Bodega Studios
Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
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.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
The seeming randomness of the assorted human interactions in "Hello Lonesome" gradually becomes illuminating and just a little bit profound.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
The parts are ultimately greater than the whole, but Adam Reid's offbeat debut suggests a talent worth watching.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Manages the considerable feat of creating six fully human characters who are quirky enough to transcend the stereotypes found in a typical indie film.
-
Andrew Schenker, Time Out New York
They all run aground on questionable decisions, ranging from minor annoyance to insurmountable obstacle.
