Solace

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Solace boasts a talented cast and a somewhat intriguing premise, but they're outweighed by a plodding story that teeters between tired clichés and ludicrous twists.

Tomris Laffly New York Magazine/Vulture Solace isn't a Silence of the Lambs sequel in which Hopkins gets to reprise the role of Hannibal Lecter. But he comes pretty damn close in this ludicrous murder mystery, which is stuck somewhere between a bad season of Dexter and a dated crime flick. Jan 4, 2017 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com The directorial pyrotechnics keep Solace from "dragging" in a narrative sense; the very real boredom it nonetheless elicits is more existential. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Staggeringly silly and visually disordered, this unfortunate misfire has been kicking around Europe and elsewhere for a couple of years under different titles, and it's easy to see why. Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Allen Adams The Maine Edge Solace, a film that had the foundation in place to be an OK movie only to squander it all on recycled tropes and strained dialogue and clichéd twists. Rated: 0/5 Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com Solace will certainly come and go from the pop culture conversation in the blink of an eye. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) But then nobody brings a touch of class to nonsense quite like Hopkins, an actor who can make the most bizarre of lines seem plausible.

Ari V Way too many cheap tv movie tropes. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Dylan S Not sure what everyones issue with this movie is. It is by no means perfect but it is absolutely entertaining. There is some exposition dumping at the beginning at that is annoying because it is clear characters are only given certain dialogue to give the viewer background info which is not good writing but beyond that, I had a good time. I dont need a film to do my taxes and raise my kids, just to entertain me for the duration of run time, and in that Solace succeeds. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review LolSniper 1 Very smart and intriguing plot and great character embodiment played by the exceptional Anthony Hopkins Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Green C Could have been better. Acting was very good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review matthias s "Solace is a decent thriller that keeps the audience engaged throughout its runtime. The performances by Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell are strong, but the plot is somewhat predictable. It's a decent watch for fans of the genre, but nothing particularly stand-out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Brian S Criminally underrated despite an oddly miscast and flat Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Superb memorable performance from Anthony Hopkins and a refreshingly out of the box script and direction. I'm not sure what reviewers were expecting or if the RT algorithm changed but this would be in the high 70s or 80s today at least. A tense vivid psychology crime thriller reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Fallen, and Frailty. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
