San Diego Reader

Jim Belushi is superb in the small role of Keith's father, a man admired and respected by everyone but the one individual he loves more than all the others combined.

Rated: 3/5

Rex Reed

Observer

The screenplay is naturalistic and the lead actor holds attention, but the film is too long and inconsequential to make much of a lasting impact as Keith meanders through his daily routines.

Rated: 2/4

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

With "Sollers Point," [Porterfield has] added just enough narrative momentum to make that well-trod subset of crime sagas - the struggle to go straight - feel fresh again.

A despairing slice-of-life drama set in the blue-collar suburb of Baltimore.

Rated: B

The Lonely Film Critic

What is striking is that, the more the action is delineated, the sadder the film becomes, because none of it is good for Keith. Anything remotely eventful only drives him further and further backwards.

Rated: 3.5/5

We engage with the characters but don't necessarily align ourselves with any of them. We observe in a non-judgmental fashion.

It was engaging but the opposite of uplifting. Probably what the director wanted. I didn't feel much sympathy for the central character. He was totally self centered and had no understanding that decisions and actions have consequences. Almost pathological in nature. At the end of the film you are left with two possibilities - he'll end up back in prison or he'll meet an early death.

I enjoyed what i watched, and it was a well acted and interesting story, but there was simply no ending. the movie built up all these potentially dynamic character interactions and then just rolled the credits at the climax without giving us any closure.

This is what it's like if you come from where I come from - even though I've seen no parts of the DMV: A constant struggle of being who you are and ultimately want to be while you are surrounded with limited opportunity and bottom-feeders that want to pull you back down. Naturally, self-destructive responses are a safe bet and I can only be glad that my leash was as tight as it was in my formative years so when faced with similar issues as the protagonisr, my responses were different. "Point" is a film that puts the failure of the penal system under a lens and the gross failures of a generation that ushered in Y and ultimately failed us and left us to the streets & media, regardless of what class or ethnicity you originate from. Situations like this occur, self destruction is only the logical next step. And as a signature "Sollers Point" exposes the recipe for repeat offenders in a world that would rather coddle than give a leg up to help a young man stand on his own two. - audiomack.com /cvrthebard

Made me feel tense the whole way through and was wondering when it would get to the point. Never happened and ended with nothing.
