| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyOSOLACE may not be the movie you rush out to theatres to see, but it is hard not to at the very least give it a chance, especially if you are a fan of the cast. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaThe film plays a lot like too-little-too-late, a sometimes-clever thriller with a couple of performances that rise above the material. |
| 3AWJim SchembriAnthony Hopkins really is a prime example of that rare breed of actor whose magnetic presence can lift a film a few notches. With Colin Farrell also on board, the film boasts a strong cast that makes you wonder why the film bypassed cinemas here. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeBrazilian director Afonso Poyart (“Two Rabbits”) proves quite effective at building and sustaining a grim sense of suspense throughout. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThis paranormal cops-versus-serial-killer procedural is never not ridiculous, but it's often entertaining as well. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirHopkins is always good value, and the plot has plenty of gory twists. |

| Cine PremiereMabel SalinasA well crafted thriller that mixes CSI elements with the supernatural. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Examiner.comChris SawinSimilarities and connections are one thing, but Solace seems to grasp at straws and force-link everything when it isn't necessary. Solace is this damaged and lackluster film that sometimes tip-toes in the category of a beautiful disaster. |
