Solomonoff's first feature film, Sisters (Spanish: Hermanas), premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2005. The film was developed through the Sundance Writers Lab and the Berlinale Talent Campus. The film was also Pedro Pascal's feature film debut. For Pascal's role, Solomonoff was looking for candidates with strong English-language skills. In addition to meeting this requirement, Pascal (then credited as Balmaceda) was found to be "someone with a very special face, very photogenic, with a kind of mystery" by Solomonoff. Her second feature, The Last Summer of La Boyita (Spanish: El último verano de la Boyita), premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2009. The film was produced by Pedro Almodóvar's company El Deseo and won more than twenty international awards. It is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. In 2017, Solomonoff wrote and directed Nobody's Watching (Spanish: Nadie nos mira), starring Guillermo Pfening. Pfening won Best Actor at the Tribeca Festival for his performance in the film. The film opened theatrically at Film Forum in New York and was a New York Times and Village Voice Critics' Pick.

Solomonoff has taught film directing at the graduate level and has held faculty and leadership positions at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. In 2021, NYU Tisch announced that she would become Chair of the Graduate Film Department, effective in the Fall 2021 semester. She is currently Head of Directing in the Graduate Film Program at Tisch. Before returning to NYU, Solomonoff was a distinguished lecturer and head of the Directing Program at Brooklyn College's Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema.
