The Concept Is There, But Too Many Shortcomings Prevent Successful Fruition I would have been surprised NOT to see David Strathairn, as this unique story fits him perfectly. Although Julia Hart is inexperienced as a writer and director, theThe Concept Is There, But Too Many Shortcomings Prevent Successful Fruition I would have been surprised NOT to see David Strathairn, as this unique story fits him perfectly. Although Julia Hart is inexperienced as a writer and director, the same can not be said for Jordan Horowitz-and I was expecting a lot more than what we received. The screenplay is pretty much half-baked and needed to stay in the oven a little bit longer. There are many moments in Fast Color that were just not thought out all the way, leaving the viewer bewildered as to how and when and why things come about within the film. The ending was a complete disappointment-again, this is a screenplay that was not put to the test before going to production.… Expand

I watched this film because Levi Lobo (Levi Dylan Martinez) has a few scenes in it. I very much enjoy watching Lobo. He is a very interesting personality. He probably needs to get out of Hollywood and do some summer stock on the east coast... or, something... maybe take some acting lessons.

Anyway, I went ahead and forced myself to watch the film in its entirety. David Strathairn as the local cop turned in his normal very good effort. I usually like watching him.

As for Gugu Mbatha-Raw (what a great name!) in the lead role... I think she didn't get the help from the director (who was working on a small budget) she needed. I saw flashes of some talent that - hopefully - will be taken advantage of some day.

I'm not going to blame the film for the story and plot. Lots of people love this kind of film - I'm just not one of them.… Expand

A restrained and impressively handled low-budget sci-fi that looks like the origins of something bigger (as the subsequent television adaptation may prove) but it’s the very restraint and focus on mood that ultimately undoes it’s potential.A restrained and impressively handled low-budget sci-fi that looks like the origins of something bigger (as the subsequent television adaptation may prove) but it’s the very restraint and focus on mood that ultimately undoes it’s potential. There’s a good concept here and it’s an empowering, female centric, superhero narrative but it’s has pacing issues which make it feel like a slog sometimes. The good performances and sporadic inventive visuals, however, just about get it over the line.… Expand

Very colorful and not very fast tale that would like to achieve the Aquarian transcendence of a "Good Vibration" by matriarchal inheritance. Cute but it also falls into the trap of believing that problems can be solved with a higher amount of power and not with something qualitatively different.… Expand
