Led by an ineffectual therapist whose exercises become increasingly comical, the loners are thrust into a government conspiracy to justify its failing program.

Sezín Koehler Black Girl Nerds 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 Jun 26, 2019 Full Review Adam Mock Film Inquiry Touted as a political satire, this comically underwritten, narratively overwritten plot means well though never proves a point. Jun 18, 2019 Full Review Bradley Gibson 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 Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Good, fun well-written satire. Really enjoyed this one! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review william w 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
