MovieLine @ at the Westport Public Library will featue The Solist on August 12th at 7:00 p.m. in the library's McManus Room. This movie is based on the book by Steve Lopez and is rated PG-13. In her Washington Post review Ann Hornaday wrote, "It's impossible not to be moved by "The Soloist," starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx. The true story of a newspaper columnist (Downey) and his friendship with a schizophrenic street musician (Foxx) in Los Angeles, the film is suffused with heartbreak and humanism, as it takes one man's grim story -- early promise, bright future, mental breakdown, despair -- and turns it into a spiritual meditation on friendship." If you want to watch two brilliant actors at work, join us for this showing. Please note that we will be screening this film just one week after its release on DVD.
