Plot Summary:
A Los Angeles Journalist, befriends a homeless Julliard trained musician, while looking for a new article for the paper.
The Soloist is not a film in which you anticipate Robert Downey Jr. will be twice doused in urine – first his own, then a coyote’s. Such are the territorial markings of Joe Wright, whose directorial quirkiness undermines moving moments in this musical biopic.
Perhaps the herculean task of finding fresh heart and angles in the umpteenth retelling of Pride and Prejudice (2005) – his first film – took too much out of Wright. Wright’s Atonement was a messy adaptation of a romantic epic by way of an M. Night Shyamalan twist.
Now, The Soloist pretentiously perverts the populist approach of Robert Zemeckis – welding a message about America’s homelessness problem onto what works best as a tale of rekindled occupational passions and slow social rehabilitation.
