Solomon

About This Movie

Solomon (2021) delves deep into the psyche of its protagonist, Dominick Darga, who faces the haunting echoes of his past after losing his child. The film, with its slow, contemplative pacing, creates an atmosphere that feels both heavy and reflective. There's a rawness to the performances, particularly from the psychiatrist, who gently pries into Dominick's trauma, revealing layers of vulnerability and pain. The cinematography has this muted quality, almost as if it's mirroring Dominick's internal struggle. It's not flashy – the practical effects, when used, are subtle but impactful. Themes of grief, redemption, and the search for understanding are interwoven, making it a pretty gritty character study that lingers long after the credits roll.
