    Goodbye Solo is visually simple and stunning, especially the haunting nightscapes of Solo's perambulations. But more important, Goodbye Solo is driven by deep feeling and sensitivity. Don't miss it. Read full review

    It is both funny and sad, placid and provocative and, above all, hopeful and despairing. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kenneth Turan

    Its style is spare, rigorous, almost anti-dramatic, but it deals thoughtfully with some of the most complex elements of the human equation. Read full review
