“Solitary” (**1/2 out of four) was an interesting but continually downbeat melodrama about an alcoholic (Katharine Lee McEwan) whose life spirals out of control when she has an affair, her husband subsequently leaves her, and she is arrested and imprisoned when her best friend dies after she was drinking-and-driving in a car crash. McEwan is empathetic in a grim story about the numerous effects of alcoholism on one’s behavior and their family but film doesn’t have much of a point and thus it’s impact is limited. About on par with other films (“Flight”, “Ironweed”, “Drunks”) about alcoholism and its consequences.
