I really like the soloist. Then again, I tend to love character studies, and that is exactly what that movie was. Also, I don't see how it can have the premise of something but not develop in to anything since it was based on a true story.
If you've ever seen Ayers in interviews, he's pretty much different from how he was portrayed, hence I assumed they were doing a very liberal interpretation of what happened.
In other news, I saw Moon yesterday, which was pretty enjoyable, but much too short for the slow pace they chose; the movie is very, very slow, and while its promising (the story is intriguing, though nothing new in sci-fi, the cast is very good, photography is solid), it falls short by saying too little. It's, unfortunately, not strong enough on the visual side to compensate for the lack of any information/action.
Still good, but not worth 12$ at the theater? Just rent it.
