Downeys performance isnt at fault; his usual hard driving mixture of prickly empathy and slick contempt is easy enough to watch. ( Read More )

The Soloist is based on a true story, but it takes pains not to sweeten the facts. ( Read More )
Roger Ebert
The Soloist has all the elements of an uplifting drama, except for the uplift.The story is compelling, the actors are in place, but I was never sure what the filmmakers wanted me to feel about it. ( Read More )

Its almost as if the film aspires to soar to great heights and instead, sputters out. ( Read More )
