Two young men make a connection neither of them expects or knows how to navigate in this Australian romance.
Casey, a young man from the countryside running from a small-town scandal, finds himself down and out in the big smoke of Sydney. When he meets Tib, a young city lad, struggling with his own scars of isolation, there’s chemistry, not only sexually but also emotionally as both men find something they have been missing. Can they overcome their own insecurities and let the other in or are the walls they have built too strong to knock down?

"(Lonesome is) proudly not for everyone."
The Guardian"Lavery and Boreham make sex as much a character arc as a site of passion, a rare trick in modern film."
RogerEbert.com"Lonesome demonstrates a mature use of sex in cinema, a treatment that communicates narrative purpose without diminishing sex’s animalistic, physical side."
The New York Times"If Boreham had been able to match the raw and open nature in which he captures gay sex and the male body with an equally in-depth examination of his characters, Lonesome could have been a minor masterpiece."
FilmInk"Uneven but involving."
