The Story

Based on true story from a book by “L.A. Times” columnist Steve Lopez (played by Robert Downey, Jr.), “The Soloist” explores Lopez’s relationship with a homeless man he first encounters on the streets of Los Angeles skillfully playing a violin with just two strings. Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx) is a once-promising cellist who bombed out of the famed Julliard music school due to his encroaching mental illness.

Lopez is fascinated by Ayers and writes a column about him, but he also begins to care about the man as a friend and wonders what he can do to help him. One of Lopez’s readers donates a cello for Ayers, who is appreciative to Lopez. But even as the pair begin to bond, Ayers’ disability remains.

How far should Lopez go to interject himself into Ayers’s life? Should the homeless man be forced off of the streets and into a facility? Should he be made to take drugs? Can performing music really heal his mind, in a way? None of the answers are easy or obvious.

Content Issues

The film is rated PG-13 for profanity, violence, and drug use. The language is pretty strong for a movie with this rating, with several uses of God
