Solace (2015)

Director: Afonso Poyart

Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Abbie Cornish

Psychic John Clancy (Sir Anthony Hopkins) works with the F.B.I. in order to hunt down a serial killer.

‘Solace’ is interestingly shot for a film of this genre. Quite beautiful, actually – almost dreamy.

When I saw the trailer and then went into this movie, I never expected it to take me on an emotional journey – as it did – as well. This is a brilliant script various people will relate to on different levels. It carries a lot of emotion and delve much deeper than I could possibly have imagined.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters and their back stories. The film also boasts very good editing, a great score and soundtrack, and fantastic acting by the entire cast. Anthony Hopkins is brilliant as always, and perfectly cast as psychic John Clancy. This is one of the most amazing films I’ve seen in a while. Every aspect of ‘Solace’ was incredible, but it definitely will divide opinions on the matter at hand. Fascinating! (This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, though).

Would I watch it again? Yes.
