Good Bye Solo (2008)

.
"Who told you that you could get into my life?"

Elderly William (Red West) rides with a Senegalese taxi driver in Winston-Salem, NC, and ends up hiring the driver, Solo (Souleymane Sy Savane), for a longer trip than originally planned. But William is depressed and Solo suspects the old gent is going to off himself. They stike up a most unlikely friendship.

Others appearing are Diana Franco Galindo as Solo’s young stepdaughter Alex; and Carmen Leyva as Solo’s Mexican wife Quiera.

Written and directed by Ramin Bahrani.

Run time: 1 hour, 31 minutes

Rated R.

My personal rating: B-
