Utterly engrossing dual-character study, unfolding with a serene disregard for indie quirkiness, Goodbye Solo radiates authenticity.

An endearing character piece shot through with beauty and humility in which, thanks to his leads' open, sometimes vulnerable performances, tolerance and respect take precedence.
Ben Walters, Time Out
Fresh
It is both funny and sad, placid and provocative and, above all, hopeful and despairing.
Gautaman Bhaskaran, Hollywood Reporter

Every moment -- including a physically exhausting climactic scene that both confounds expectations and compounds the film's poetic majesty -- is evidence of a masterpiece.

What happens in Goodbye Solo meets the complex demands of good classic storytelling.
