Loners

This movie was so much fun. Totally makes you without trying too hard. I have no idea what the nut job review with gun stats is talking about. This movie is smart but doesn't write checks that can't cash. Highly recommended.

In this day in which the "incel" and his tendency to open fire on humans runs parallel to hideous governmental overreach, art has finally accepted its satirical charge by addressing both in Eryc Tramonn's brilliant social comedy, "Loners."

In an absurdist response to acts of violence, the dystopian government of "Loners" logically concludes that the introverts prone to perpetuating these acts need aggressive socialization -- they need friends, and the kind of friends who will keep them under tight authoritarian watch. You'll know a Loner when you see one, because they're adorned with a curiously hotwired headband accompanied by the billboarded letter "L." Socialize, Loners, or you'll be "disappeared." Awesome.

Accompanied by outstanding acting from Brian Letcher, Tyson Turrou, David Christian Welborn, and Melissa Paladino, the writing is top shelf, leveraging subcutaneous dark comedy which often breaks the surface with truly informed hilarity. "Loners" is a master class in subtle, biting, and socially telling comedy.

Loners is a very funny comedy. This type of film is exactly what I needed right now. Loners is an over-the-top satire about an America where loners are rounded up as a governmental program to supposedly combat gun violence, where the loners must attend weekly Lone-anon meetings and wear an "L" headband like a scarlet letter. I really like this film because it doesn't hold back and has a number of big, bold comedic performances by a very talented ensemble cast. If you're looking for a unique, imaginative, and well-acted satire, then check out Loners!

This movie is very clever! Tackles gun reform and lonliness with spades of humor. The characters were awesome and the story plays on those little seeds of paranoia in the back of your mind. Highly recommend!

Loners is a fun, heartfelt movie about a group of people just wanting to be themselves and who just might need to learn to lean on each other for support in spite of their desires to be alone. We all have a little bit of each of these characters in ourselves, or know someone in our lives who are Loners. This is not a political film, it's a satire, a good watch, has a great score, and fun characters with a fun little twist.
