Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
A former Britpop rocker who now works on a farm gets caught driving drunk and faces deportation after living in Los Angeles for many years. His efforts to stay in the U.S. force him to confront the past and current demons in his life.
Leave your thoughts about California Solo.
| NPRElla TaylorEven with its strong supporting cast, I doubt this small, finely observed movie would have seen the commercial light of day without Carlyle in the lead. Amid the deafening roar of big Oscar-bait pictures, I'm glad it's there. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayCalifornia Solo doesn't have much story. All of the details above are established in the first five minutes, then the movie becomes a character sketch, carried by its wealth of detail and a fantastic Carlyle performance. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinAnchored by Robert Carlyle's strong, naturalistic performance, in which he relies on his big smile and sad eyes in equal measure. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoMainly worth seeing as a showcase for the appealing Scottish actor Robert Carlyle, who plays a has-been rocker reduced to eking out a living on an organic farm in Southern California. |
| indieWireEric KohnEven as California Solo plays like a track we've heard before, it's still worth a listen. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonLewy avoids the trite path to redemption, choosing instead to keep this a study of man in midlife crisis, understated and realistic. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyOne of the U.K.'s unsung character-actors, Carlyle sinks his teeth in and gives a remarkable performance. |
| The ListMiles FielderCarlyle carries the film with a typically dedicated performance. And he can carry a tune, too. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenIn some sense, California Solo is like meeting an engaging stranger: At first there's a certain air of enigmatic mystery that makes you want to spend time with them, but eventually things turn awkward and you just want to get away. |
| Time OutSam AdamsMarshall Lewy's film functions largely as a delivery system for Carlyle's performance. Luckily, Carlyle's tough, tender turn is strong enough to carry the load. |
