Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty, Trainspotting) stars in this touching, human story about post-fame life and personal redemption. Former Britpop rocker Lachlan MacAldonich (Carlyle) has settled into a comfortably numb existence just outside Los Angeles. By day, he works on an organic farm and travels regularly to the city's farmers' markets to sell produce. By night, he retreats to his crummy apartment to record "Flame-Outs," his podcast that recounts the tragic deaths of great musicians. The only spark in his humdrum existence is Beau (Alexia Rasmussen), a lovely struggling actress and amateur chef. One night, Lachlan gets pulled over for a DUI, a charge that dredges up his past drug offense and threatens him with deportation. Lachlan's only hope of staying in the U.S. is proving that his removal would cause "extreme hardship" to a U.S. citizen spouse or relative, so he contacts his estranged ex-wife and daughter, raising past demons that he must finally confront. Danny Masterson co-stars. Written and directed by Marshall Lewy.

Movie Overview For California Solo
Lachlan MacAldonich is a self-described â€œlazy Scotsmanâ€ and former guitar player for a once-popular 1990s rock band. No longer famous, he now lives a comfortably numb existence working on an organic farm outside Los Angeles. He drinks himself into a stupor every night and retires to his shabby apartment to record his podcast, recounting the tragic deaths of great musicians. After a particularly heavy night of drowning his sorrows at a local watering hole, he is arrested for driving under the influence. This snag, coupled with a long-ago conviction for a drug offense, means Lachlan faces possible deportation. His only hope of remaining stateside is proving that his absence would cause extreme hardship for a spouse or relative â€" forcing him to confront relationships he thought were buried forever.

Review For California Solo

Lewy's script doesn't cop out with any sentimental redemption, but neither does it establish why the self-destructive Lachlan deserves our sympathy.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail

Mainly worth seeing as a showcase for the appealing Scottish actor Robert Carlyle, who plays a has-been rocker reduced to eking out a living on an organic farm in Southern California.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle

In some sense, "California Solo" is like meeting an engaging stranger: At first there's a certain air of enigmatic mystery that makes you want to spend time with them, but eventually things turn awkward and you just want to get away.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times

The story trickles to a disappointing close. But Carlyle, who first gained attention here for his unforgettable work in "Trainspotting," remains an essential character actor.
Kyle Smith-New York Post

It treats its themes of guilt and responsibility with delicate tact and a precise eye for the neglected commitments that stubbornly dog a man trying his damnedest to efface himself from the world.
Ella Taylor-NPR

A wry, mournful study of midlife crisis ...
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times

Carlyle gives a nuanced performance--perhaps too nuanced, as the character's overall arc amounts to a blip of resignation.
Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine

It is not that the film is bad or boring so much as it is forgettable.
John Esther-UR Chicago Magazine

Clunky and lacks bite, but mostly engrossing thanks to Robert Carlyle's heartfelt, nuanced performance that adds complexity which the screenplay lacks.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru

Anchored by Robert Carlyle's strong, naturalistic performance, in which he relies on his big smile and sad eyes in equal measure.
Robert Levin-amNewYork

Even as California Solo plays like a track we've heard before, it's still worth a listen.
Eric Kohn-indieWIRE

The movie becomes a character sketch, carried by its wealth of detail and a fantastic Carlyle performance.
Noel Murray-AV Club

No one has written a part for Robert Carlyle that gives him this kind of chance to show his range since The Full Monty. And that was 15 years ago.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine

Robert Carlyle's performance compensates for the film's less successful elements and even makes you wonder if they might be strengths.
Tomas Hachard-Slant Magazine

One of the U.K.'s unsung character-actors, Carlyle sinks his teeth in and gives a remarkable performance.
