Goodbye Solo Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The lack of melodrama coupled with moments of quiet celebration make Goodbye Solo a more uplifting tale than one might expect with such a less-than-joyous premise.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
What began as something of a lark becomes increasingly grave, and the actors skillfully adjust to that change in tone.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Goodbye Solo is the sort of film that truly defies categorization, and that may pose a challenge to some moviegoers. But there are certain works of art to which the rules do not apply. This is one of them.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A quietly soulful study of two very different men.
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
Goodbye Solo relies on forced character dynamics and two clunkily directed, monotonous turns, in a milieu...that fails to take satisfactory shape.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Utterly engrossing dual-character study, unfolding with a serene disregard for indie quirkiness, Goodbye Solo radiates authenticity.
Hollywood Reporter
Gautaman Bhaskaran
It is both funny and sad, placid and provocative and, above all, hopeful and despairing.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
Bahrani has not told the quintessential American story, but it's certainly a potent one.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Most of the movie's subterranean emotion is found in the unsettled relationship between Solo and William, and in the extraordinary performances by the two leading men.
San Francisco Chronicle
Reyhan Harmanci
The movie starts fast and the pace rarely relents. Goodbye Solo is almost frighteningly alive: Other filmmakers must wonder exactly how Ramin Bahrani packs so much personality in what could have been standard indie fare.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
A darkly poetic parable of the solitude of human existence, somewhat ameliorated by the occasional generosity of the human spirit.
At the Movies
Ben Mankiewicz
It's hopeful and tragic but without any false Hollywood melodrama.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Goodbye Solo is a deceptive film. Its style is spare, rigorous, almost anti-dramatic, but it deals thoughtfully with some of the most complex elements of the human equation.
New Yorker
David Denby
Creating his fiction shrewdly, Ramin Bahrani ultimately suggests that finality, too, has its beauty, and must be valued as much as endless possibility.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The overall effect of Goodbye Solo is of living through a drama of huge subjects, articulated in the vernacular.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The crazy-quilt quality of these immigrants mixing it up with Southern rednecks like William is deftly underplayed, and so it has more resonance for us.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A playful, elusive movie that isn't so much heartwarming as soul-cleansing.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Bahrani's new movie, Goodbye Solo, offers further proof that he is one of the best reasons to keep going to the movies.
Boston Globe
For a movie critic, one of the pleasures of Bahrani's approach to moviemaking is the opportunity to write about feelings and behavior, to continue to wonder about the characters' inner lives weeks after leaving the movie theater.
