The Soloist

Movie Rating: PG-13 for thematic elements - Drug use and Language

Snack/Bathroom Break: the first time the Soloist plays the cello under the overpass.

Review: I attended The Soloist without knowing ANYTHING about what I was going to see. I happened to see a friend walking down the street and joined them for a movie. That was it.

The movie has (what I consider) a plot that hangs together loosely, and as such was worth of my time, but what impressed me was the insight into mental illness with which I left the theater.

I know it's won awards and stuff like that, but as far as a movie I think that I'd rate it a good banana. Worth seeing though.

Oh... A good time for a quick break is the first time that The Soloist starts to play the cello under the overpass. You will miss some nice music, but nothing that is pertinent to the plot.
