In the very near future, an ensemble of eccentric loners is forced to endure a government-mandated group therapy class called Lone-Anon as part of the War on Loneliness, a misguided initiative to stem the growing tide of American violence. Led by an ineffectual therapist whose exercises become increasingly comical, the loners are thrust into a government conspiracy to justify its failing program.

The opening sets us up perfectly. There is a government plan to make loners the new scapegoat for school shootings. But the movie quickly turns into something more personal that is about your right to be who you are. And hey, if that's an introvert, in this story it's bad news. I would also say you can tell from the trailer if you are going to like it. I'm always looking for true indies because they have heart and can be fun to watch. This movie is one of those. I bought the story from the beginning. I usually don't laugh during comedies, but this one got many times. I think it was mostly from the quirkiness of the characters and the offbeat jokes. There are many quotable lines. Oh, thank you for a fun watch!

Funny and biting satirical look and what whacky look at the future. Well written and acted. It is smart look at modern day society. Social comedy at it's finest.

This was/is so much fun to watch!! I took zero kitchen/bathroom breaks (which in itself is a very good sign). Bravo to all associated with this little gem. The acting was spot on. All the actors did a really good job!! Kudos to the casting director. The director did a super good job too in keeping things moving along at a perfect pace. My hat is off to all!!! This film clearly get a big "Thumbs Up" from me!!

A quirky comedic take on anti-social "loners" and how the government works with them to combat future terror, with a likeable cast and fun cameos! A spirited indie effort by the filmmakers, and a satire that is surely applicable today.

A funny concept with lots of laughs. There's some pretty astute social commentary in this indie film, too. The comedy delivery is excellent, and Eryc Tramonn does a great job of putting everything together in an entertaining package that is well worth your time.

As weighty the social commentary is, Loner writer Neil McGowan infuses this film with a compassionate and comedic touch that perfectly balances the heart of this dystopian vision of America.

Rated: 4/5

Film Inquiry

Touted as a political satire, this comically underwritten, narratively overwritten plot means well though never proves a point.

Film Threat

Loners sparkles with a quality screenplay and polished filmmaking. This talented crew of filmmakers and actors have crafted a fine piece of commentary comedy, well worth your time.

Rated: 8/10

Movie Nation

A promising satiric premise -- regulating "loners" rather than the guns they use to commit mass shootings -- becomes a labored, laugh starved comedy that never works.
