Sollers Point is an intimate and wise character study, not only of an unformed young man but also of a neighborhood struggling to preserve itself in the face of economic decline. Read full review

Mr. Porterfield’s evenhanded direction doesn’t try to pull the viewer’s sympathies one way or another. Within his realistic mode he crafts some startling effects — a strip-club brawl that spills out into broad, embarrassing daylight is eye-opening. Read full review

Sollers Point is a moving and elusive blend of naturalism and melodrama, less a character study than an analysis of a community. Read full review

Sollers Point isn’t really about the plot, or advancing it. It’s all about the place, the sorts of people in it and the good and bad support systems that could sink or swim our hero. Thanks to Lombardi, we stick around for the answer. Read full review

One can imagine that Sollers Point might be better if its focus expanded to the area's inhabitants, not just Keith. Read full review
