The unfinished quality of many a scene or line of development in the screenplay itself doesn't hamper the emergence of an interesting, amusing interplay. Go to Full Review

One of the small but valuable gems of Australian cinema, Lonely Hearts is a gently ascerbic film, if there is such a thing, exploring an Australia from a rather different perspective than was the usual case in the 70s and 80s Go to Full Review

06/25/2014 (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] See more 03/23/2011 I found the movie to be odd and a bit dull at times. But, for some strange reason I could not turn it off wondering what was going to happen next. I understand the fact that this was a love story, but I couldn't really find a plot about the film. The story is weak, and could've been better. See more 02/02/2011 good character driven drama See more 05/03/2008 A heartwarming love story - an unlikely couple, a 50 year old eccentric piano tuner and a shy bank clerk who is 20 yrs his junior find themselves paired off through a dating service, and surprise surprise, fall in love! The lead actors do an amzing job of convincing us of their genuine affection for each other, and this is the sort of movie that reaffirms one's faith in love and gives hope to those that feel disillusioned. Highly recommended!
