Solo

A guy with a troubled past is doing some soul searching during a lonely fight for his life… That’s great material for a survival drama, but apart from nice music and attractive locations on the Fuerteventura coasts, nothing here works as it should. The dialogue is clumsily skims over the issue and the narrative might arouse slight curiosity as in “I wonder how this ends”, but it is devoid of suspense. And there is no emotional connection to the characters whatsoever. The director seems to know how to make a music video, but not how to tell stories about people and their feelings. (05.05.2019)
