Drama/Based on True Story
4.5 stars
Excellent movie about a homeless man and the reporter who tries to help him. Robert Downey Jr. is excellent as usual as newspaper columnist Steve Lopez who meets Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx, in another outstanding performance) while looking for new material for his column. It’s nice to have another movie out there about the dying newspaper industry and the difference the stories can make in people’s lives. I liked that the film did not gloss over the tragedy and complexities of homeless people. Excellent movie.

About Me
- Mary
- I love movies. I love the big screen in a darkened theater with a great sound system. I love the popcorn with the fake butter too! I go to the theater 2 or 3 times a week, depending on what movies are out. Luckily, my husband allows me to be a spoiled housewife who doesn't have to work anymore, so I can enjoy quiet matinees. Even with the not so great movies, I can usually find something I like about them. If you are the "hard to please" type, this page is probably not for you.

i've heard the Soloist does a great job raising awareness for those who are homeless who might also happen to be mentally unstable; I'd like to see it while it's still on the big screen
