Lonely Boys is a raw dramedy about two thirty-something men clinging to friendship, art, alcohol — and the women they can’t quite hold onto — while the city they believed in quietly moves on without them. Funny, furious, and painfully intimate, it captures the moment a generation realized the ladder was already broken.
Shot in Brooklyn and set against the disappearing promise of early-2010s New York, Lonely Boys holds onto that moment just long enough to ask what comes next.
“Lonely Boys and its closing shot stuck with me long after the film ended because anyone can see pieces of themselves in Jules and Saul. We’ve all been there, even if we’ve never been at the end of our ropes quite like they have. The end result is a film that cleverly explores the true meaning of an old friendship with unexpected narrative twists. In other words, the type of movie that reminds you what a few people with a small budget and a camera can do when they have a humorous and honest story to tell.” - Christopher McKittrick
