Solzy at the Movies

Danielle Solzman

There's just something about the way that The Way, Way Back is performed, written, and directed that sets it apart from other coming-of-age movies.

It’s refreshingly honest and surprisingly funny. There are also some fabulous characters brought to life through some good acting led by Rockwell.

Warm and well-meaning, with a fantastic soundtrack and a poignant ending that can't help but bring a lump to the throat.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Every so often, a movie comes along and not only surprises you for its quality, but completely satisfies the emotional investment and trust you put into it.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Leigh Paatsch

An accomplished acting ensemble led by Collette, Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell make a difficult task look deceptively easy.
