    Lonesome review
    Little has changed, it seems, regarding the isolation endured by those sucked into the daily metropolitan rat race. Pal Fejos superbly captures the chaotic excitement of Coney Island, and holds our attention despite the lack of plot - although the last minute 'twist' is something of a let-down.
