Reviews
"With an outstanding screenplay by Brian Koppelman and disciplined direction by Koppelman and David Levien, a story that could have been generic (or worse, scented with flowery bulls---) turns into a precise, honest, and affecting drama."
- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"A sharp, small-scale comedy of male misbehavior that turns out to be one of this dreary spring’s pleasant cinematic surprises."
- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"Douglas plays Ben as charismatic, he plays him shameless, he plays him as brave, and very gradually, he learns to play him as himself. That's the only role left."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Solitary Man is funny and absorbing, and it features a lead performance by Michael Douglas that's both hugely entertaining in itself, and fascinating for the way it illuminates the actor's long, colorful career."
- Matt Zoller Seitz, Salon.com
"It’s smoothly written and smartly paced, and Michael Douglas is riveting."
- David Edelstein, New York Magazine
