After failing to find success as a writer in New York City, Jim slinks back to his family's home in the Midwest to lick his wounds.

Under the shadow of his sibling's injurious actions, Jim strikes up an unlikely friendship with Anika, whose centered small-town wisdom gradually rubs off on him.
Directed by Steve Buscemi. Starring Casey Affleck, Kevin Corrigan, Liv Tyler, Mary Kay Place and Seymour Cassel.
Lyradrift plots Lonesome Jim as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
