1/5
South Solitary is perfect for those who prize art for its own sake and a perfect example of why the rest of Australia is afraid of Australian films. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 07/30/2010
4/5
It was Shirley Barrett who discovered Miranda Otto's gift for screen comedy and it is Barrett who is responsible for its re-emergence. It's been in hiding for a long time. Go to Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) 07/29/2010
The film's restraint and its embrace of uncomfortable, spiky characters are deceptive elements; there is a quiet audacity about South Solitary that's an unexpected pleasure. Go to Full Review Glenn Dunks Onya Magazine 10/17/2013
C-
It's a dull and lifeless movie that doesn't have a place in the landscape of Australian cinema of 2010. Go to Full Review Tim Martain The Mercury (Australia) 08/12/2010
3.5/5
It is a beautiful thing to watch, even if the pacing feels a bit lopsided. Go to Full Review Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 07/30/2010
South Solitary walks a fine line between tender drama and rueful comedy. As with all good tightrope acts, you can't take your eyes away for a minute. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
