Holly Hunter is quite superb as a warm and loving woman knocked back by Manglehorns sheer thoughtlessness and single minded obsession.
Screen Daily

Theres a powerful austerity to Manglehorn the mans tale that Manglehorn the film itself well acted and touching though it often is doesnt quite match.

In the hands of Mr. Pacino, a story of self realization has a bit more groove in its step than it usually does (and shades of darker moods).

Its not as if David Gordon Green doesnt punctuate Manglehorn with moments of genuinely appealing and unique scenes, though.
