May 16, 2008Solaris might not be to everyone's liking but hell it sure was to mine, its not one of those bubblegum no brainer movies Solaris only works if the viewer is willing to think and work with the film. Sci fi, a love story, philosophy>>>my kind of film

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Comes across as less than a spontaneous work of the heart and more like a grim-faced stab at artistic importance. full review
November 27, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
