3/5
Jim Belushi is superb in the small role of Keith's father, a man admired and respected by everyone but the one individual he loves more than all the others combined. Go to Full Review

2/4
The screenplay is naturalistic and the lead actor holds attention, but the film is too long and inconsequential to make much of a lasting impact as Keith meanders through his daily routines. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times May 25, 2018
With "Sollers Point," [Porterfield has] added just enough narrative momentum to make that well-trod subset of crime sagas - the struggle to go straight - feel fresh again. Go to Full Review

A despairing slice-of-life drama set in the blue-collar suburb of Baltimore. Go to Full Review
Tomas Trussow The Lonely Film Critic Dec 23, 2018
3.5/5
What is striking is that, the more the action is delineated, the sadder the film becomes, because none of it is good for Keith. Anything remotely eventful only drives him further and further backwards. Go to Full Review

3/4
We engage with the characters but don't necessarily align ourselves with any of them. We observe in a non-judgmental fashion. Go to Full Review

Abraham L Nov 7, 2018 Made me feel tense the whole way through and was wondering when it would get to the point. Never happened and ended with nothing. See more
Hermione W Oct 18, 2018 Realism carries this indie. McCaul Lombardi stars as Keith, who is serving the final days of his 9 month home detention after a prison stretch. He's living with his father (Jim Belushi), in Baltimore, despite their strained relationship. Like with numerous movies of this genre, Keith will have to decide whether he will return to his old ways or go down a more positive path. You want to root for him, but he sure doesn't make it easy for you with his often bad decisions, as well as exhibiting his mercurial and violent side, on occasion. Overall, the film kept my interest enough to want to know how it would all turn out, but don't expect any easy answers or it all to be "wrapped up in a neat bow". See more
Leia G Sep 11, 2018 Why do critics like these stupid movies? The only reason I watched is because I grew up in the area. This movie lacked content, the plot, well I did not really see one. There was no action or drama in my opinion. I mean the story just limped along with no real ending. See more
Hagrid W May 23, 2018 Both raw and intimate with an extremely uninhibited feel, and although I found the main character infuriating at times, Lombardi did very well to create that feeling. Def some bias here based on the setting too... See more
Finn G May 17, 2018 Be on the lookout for McCaul Lombardi, who more than carries 'Sollers Point', an under the radar indy written and directed by Matthew Porterfield. There are a lot of people in the low budget flick who appear to be 1st time actors who really can't act, but Lombardi isn't one of them. The script may run a little thin and there may be a character added here or there that cold have been cut, but when Lombardi is on the screen he's a force. There are plenty of problems namely the ending. The lead character is written to have so many various emotions that's it's hard to get a gauge on who he is. That doesn't change from start to finish. The conclusion is mystifying. It lacks sense and cohesion. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to seek this out. You can tell this narratively is a bit of a mess based on the deleted scene section, however it's worthwhile to see a future star. Final Score: 6.7/10 See more
