REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“.."The Soloist" traffics in the external and fails to connect the dots from what we see to who we are..”
by Duane Dudek [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]
“..imperfect, periodically if unsurprisingly sentimental, overly tidy and often very moving..”
by Manohla Dargis [NY Times]
“..pitch-perfect..”
by Colin Covert [Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune]
