Palindromes (2005)
Zoals een palindroom een woord of woordverbinding is die ook van achteren naar voren gelezen kan worden en hetzelfde blijft betekenen, zo schetst Solondz het leven van de 12 jaar oude Aviva (ook van achteren naar voren te lezen). In deze film zijn veel Aviva's - zo wordt ze gespeeld door een kleuter, twee volwassen vrouwen, een jongetje en een paar tieners - die in een wereld leven, waar iedere seconde beslissingen genomen moeten worden, door haar zelf of haar alterego's. Een donkere kijk op de Amerikaanse familiewaarden. Met de kenmerkende zwarte humor van Solondz passeren zaken als zelfmoord, abortus, religie en eenzaamheid in de buitenwijken de revue.
