Solitary Man Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Yet more proof that Michael Douglas can do anything he pleases so long as he's playing a jerk.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
It's a smart, funny film that flirts with the edge.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Wicked, blunt writing, a great supporting cast and Douglas doing variations of other sleazy womanizers he's played make this a tart, terse treat.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Michael Douglas is at his best when playing a character at his worst.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Why do we keep watching this sad, sad man? Because he's ecstatic as long as he avoids facing reality, and Douglas makes that ecstasy a marvelous thing to behold.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The empty guy at the beginning of this movie is pretty much the same empty guy by its end.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
You'd think Michael Douglas has played the charming cad on screen once too often, but damned if he doesn't pull it off once more in grand style.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Douglas' juiciest vehicle since Wonder Boys.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A sharp, small-scale comedy of male misbehavior that turns out to be one of this dreary spring's pleasant cinematic surprises.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
In its scruffy, take-me-or-leave-me way, it deserves attention.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is all about Ben Kalman, but one of the strengths of Michael Douglas' performance is that he isn't playing a character. He's playing a character who is playing a character.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The actors are all charged up, too; there's just nowhere in this script for them to go.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Koppelmans script is awash in phony scenarios.
Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
The film begins and ends with scenes of acute existential reflection, a state actors rarely convey convincingly-least of all in a contemporary American film.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
Solitary Man may be about a man who has found himself on his own, but it features one of the best ensemble performances of the year. Don't miss it.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Though this drama by writer-director Brian Koppelman hardly measures up to Wonder Boys, it comes a lot closer than King of California.
New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The role is so tailor-made for Douglas, who has put in years of screen time on the horizontal, that the rest of the story has to fit in around him, leaving scant room for maneuver.
Salon.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Koppleman and his co-director, David Levien, hit the right tone early -- empathetic yet brutally honest -- and Douglas' absorbing, minutely detailed performance sustains it.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Solitary Man gives Douglas a chance to act, not merely posture or show off for the camera. It's some of the finest, least forced work he has done in years.
