    One of the best short films made

    Very rarely do I find myself compelled to write a review on a movie, but this film nonetheless won me over from the get go. The cinematography of this movie is incredible. The camera work is unmatched and Dwyer delivers a great role. The suspense builds up with every moment and crescendos with perfection. From the beginning you are pulled into the movie and complexity of the character. Dwyer's portrayal of his character and the complexity the conflict is well thought out and executed to perfection. A well deserved 10 stars for this award winning film. Highly recommended watch and a true masterpiece for all fellow cinephiles.

    Humble ThrillSkin's Review Of SOLUS

    Very suspenseful and very well thought out. I love the camera angles. The music and sound effects were amazing. I love how it drew me in and kept me engaged. The plot twist was crazy. It was very well done for a short film. Tommy is a very good actor and had me convinced of the character he was playing. I can tell a lot of thought was put into this script. Definitely a little scary and also relatable in a way where it has you worried about the main character, the wife and the psychiatrist. It had me locked in from the beginning of the movie til the ending. It definitely made me wanna watch it again.

    The stats are in, and Solus is one of the greatest short films I have ever seen. Go and see this film as soon as possible! Tommy gives performance that is challenging and intense, the cinematography is beyond amazing, and the chemistry between the whole ensemble is astonishing. Frankly, I couldn't give a stronger review and I hope that people are not only watching this film, but following along on the group of filmmakers and their journeys. What an incredible time we live in with the way new filmmakers are taking the chances that Hollywood studios won't. This film is worth your time and effort to see it.
