Review of Lonesome Jim (2005) by Steven W — 14 Nov 2011
I was torn by this film, if not emotionally then in how it really resonated with me. I struggled after watching it to decided whether my ambivalence was with the film and it's frustrating protagonist, or with my own life in general.
Maybe as an audience we are simply unwilling to rest so deeply in the depths of a pessimist's psyche, where acceptance of what you have is not actually a step to self-betterment (as we so often see) but yet another cruel realization.
Brilliantly acted and with the darkest of comedy shadowing an already morose mood, I recommend watching.
