There is a character’s journey Craig Boreham‘s Lonely which cannot be described as linear or traditional. Boreham has taken care to stay out of the narrative flow with his film, and in some parts it works as a compelling drama about chaos, while in others Lonely It seems like a disturbing statement about the effects of rejection on a young man whose path unfolds as he passes through it. Anyway, as the third act resolves, Casey may have found her place in the chaotic portrayal of her fate. Is that enough to accept the film?

The answer is maybe. This is not it Lonely it’s hard to watch, but it’s a strange case of a slow burn drama with a fixed point of view that’s just hard to believe. Yes, Casey’s story is over the top, but at least Boreham provides some resolution, even if it’s a little too traumatic.

Lonely A divisive drama about Casey, a young cowboy who tries to overcome the rejection of his father and the small town in which he was born. He’s a young gay cowboy and his only direction is towards the big city where he can be himself. Boreham’s depiction of a “grown-up” version of a story is cryptic and graphic. It’s a small part of Casey’s journey as she finds love in the midst of disaster. The calm is deceiving because she trusts Tib too much, another person whose life also seems chaotic.

I may be spoiling the film, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem with Boreham’s film. The structure is not traditional. You can guess where the movie goes. Casey and Tib are going through some things and feel like there are too many differences between them. The ship was about to leave at some point and Casey was confused again. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and Tib’s presence is almost irrelevant if it means Casey finds solace.

Again, Lonely it is far from the traditional film. It’s a character study of Casey, a young cowboy whose social accomplishment depends solely on how much he can give. He believes that his only channel is sex, but he doesn’t get much use out of it if it doesn’t have emotional consequences. Even Tib doesn’t always have a sense of fulfillment. His look at the result is filled with loneliness and sadness.

Josh Lavery as Casey is the main reason the movie works. The young performer plays a difficult character, whose intentions are conveyed only in silence, as a feeling of mistrust and disbelief. Lavery always guarantees a sense of humanity as Casey confronts good and evil, even when good is unlikely and evil is the sure destination. It’s not that he’s naive. All he has to do is believe in good, and we, the audience, find ourselves rooting for him.

Recommendation: Please note that Lonesome is a very sexual film. It contains sex scenes that are much more explicit than in other films.
