It's poignant, quietly life-affirming little story that doesn't need to shout. Lonesome Jim's good company.

Minimalist, moody and morose, Lonesome Jim is a minor gem.

It all feels very slight.

Affleck plays this as a one-note turn, all dour. What a life-force like Anika would see in him is a mystery.

"Lonesome Jim" is an earnest and modest 'little independent' movie that charms by way of its understated underachieving characters.

Though this clash of picket-fenced, down-home values and big city oafishness was handled with a little more delicacy in 2005's superb 'Junebug', Buscemi's film has lots to say about this fruitful dynamic.

The problem is that a little of this minimalist kitchen-sink farce goes a very long way, and after a while Lonesome Jim starts to dry up.

Steve Buscemi's third film as a director is a low key affair delivered with a wry sense of humour.

Manages to be bitter, dispiriting and utterly pointless all at once.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A slight, but amusing and occasionally touching, dark comedy about depression and dysfunction that percolates with indie film hipness.
