Solo Storyline

Based on real events. On September 6, 2014, Álvaro Vizcaíno Albertos, a surfer who wakes up in his jeep in Fuerteventura Island (one of the Canary Islands) after being too drunk the last night, and after a fight with the companion of his part-time girlfriend Ona, in addition to learning that his close friend Nelo is going to leave him to travel to Canada to create a family with his recent and pregnant girlfriend. Alone in this remote corner of Fuerteventura and dominated by pride, anger and jealousy, Álvaro decides take his surf table looking for the perfect wave, but while he walks by the coastal dunes close to the jeep, he suddenly stumbles and slides down the dune to a reef, where he keeps in a delicate position in the border trying to avoid crashing against the rocks. Calculating the natural cycle of the waves, Álvaro throws himself to the void, falling into the water but injuring seriously in the head and breaking his left hip in the fall. Unable to stand up and walk, without food, drink and all kind of help, Álvaro is taken by the tide until the beach, where he finds himself in a state of total loneliness and desolation, having hallucinations with Ona to check the life he lived until the accident and the way he behaved with friends and familiars. Trapped in an extreme fight to survive, Álvaro faces not only his own death, but the determination to live and be rescued before it’s too late.—Chockys

Solo Movie Reviews

Not bad

Beautifully shot ….. can’t deny the gorgeous scenery … but otherwise it’s an hour and a half of a grown man crying and whining

Solo, singularly insulting cinema through and through. Underwhelming boredom

Bad acting, slow, idle, bad and boring story, too many flashbacks filled with surf scenes sprinkled with short scenes of mediocre acting w by unknown rookie actors. Most of his acting consisted of dragging himself across a small beach with his arms. Being a fan of Spaniard cinema, I think this movie is an insult to theater, or a fart emulating nothingness. On the bright side, the underwater photography (2% of the movie) was beautiful. Would strongly recommend skipping this movie altogether if you don’t want to finish it and want to punch yourself in the face for wasting that hour and a half on this absolute piece of garbage.

Visually Beautiful, but Empty and Lifeless

The camerawork is absolutely stunning and vivid, creating a genuinely chaotic and natural experience. I also appreciated the fact that this film used many real locations instead of heavy CGI and studio sets.

But then the awful structuring of the narrative ruins all sense of tension and unease. The film begins in medias res for absolutely no reason and while it might seem cool at first, it feels laughably dumb afterward. The contrived romance was not only disruptive but also painfully pretentious. It strives for greater importance in the story and characters when there really isn’t anything there to begin with.

The survival story isn’t even that exciting or unique. It’s been done before and certainly far better. 127 Hours immediately comes to mind, but even The Revenant has a few individual scenes that surpass everything this film tries to accomplish with masterful technique and stunning beauty. It’s commendable for being a true story and for having stunning cinematography, but what’s the point of adapting this man’s story into a film when it doesn’t bring anything necessary or unique to cinema?
