Is It Any Good?

Kids say (1):

Solo, which means "alone" in Spanish, brims over with compelling photography, but the tribulations of a selfish man realizing his shortcomings as he faces death may not interest most teens. Like Robert Redford in All is Lost, Hernandez portrays someone stripped down to human fundamentals and survival instincts, giving a remarkable performance as a man battling pain, impending death, and inner demons all at once. This is definitely not for everyone, and it leaves open the big question -- does he live a better, more generous life after the accident?

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
