	Media	Author	Review
		Anna Smith Empire	"It's an endearing enough idea but the film's dark side undermines the charming set-up (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Mister Lonely' is enigmatic, its moods and meanings sometimes elusive in the way that dreams can be, but nearly every frame is an image of arresting clarity and beauty."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"An odd, desperate film, lost in its own audacity, and yet there are passages of surreal beauty and preposterous invention that I have to admire (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Scott Foundas Variety	"[It] falls short of its ambition to say something meaningful about the obsessive nature of celebrity culture."
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"As a work of entertainment, as a cohesive narrative and as an artistic whole, there's no way to call it anything but an on-balance average effort."
