Phenomenal. Kodachrome is a perfect display of the history of technology and the fast paced change that shaped it to what it is today.

Kodachrome is a perfect display of the history of technology and the fast paced change that shaped it to what it is today. For the older audience it's a blast from the past to what they witnessed or grew up with and for the younger audience it's a more in depth view of what technology was like before the digital world came along. And some how among all this compelling memory and history, there's a even deeper meaning to be found in this film...the lesson that things are not always what we believe them to be and you should always follow your dreams but also don't leave behind the things you love. I strongly recommend this film to all but get ready for a roller coaster of emotions.… Expand

Harris plays the "(un)likable" misanthrope" with a strong character and quite some wit. I just wish that some of the photography of the father would have been more upfront and embedded into the storyline. Quite clever is the fact to actually have shot the movie on analog film, the colors are simply stunning.… Expand

Predictable drama about a father and son relationship that although it's not bad it's somewhat slow. Nothing memorable, it's nice and has respectable performances. Beyond that there's nothing else worth mentioning.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is really well written, acted and developed. (punn intended) The premise and writing really hits me close to home on a personal level in a freakishly accurate way. The son and the complexity of his feelings, resentment, hurt, anger and desire to protect his heart from being hurt yet again are so incredibly well acted that I took time to look this actor up on the web. The father is also portrayed genuinely with pin point accuracy. I was absorbed by the whole of the story telling. My only caveat is that I felt that the ending gave in to wrapping things up into a neat little bow at the end however simultaneously with the slide show finale, demonstrated that our human experience is sometimes impossible to communicate even to those whom we love more than anything.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jason Sudeikis joins a growing list of comedians who manage to turn in solid performances as dramatic actors (e.g., Bob Odenkirk, Will Arnett, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams). Sudeikis nicely underplays scenes where the context is emotionally searing, particularly the ending which should be a no-brainer and no need for a “spoiler” alert (though I've flagged my review just in case): the moment where he’s casually talking with his father with a sense of relaxed warmth, now that years of a frozen relationship have finally thawed, and in the next moment he realizes the End which had weighed so heavily over his recent days (compressed into the entire movie) finally happens, before his eyes, in all its devastatingly anti-climactic reality -- Sudeikis nails it, with subtle aplomb. That moment should be used in acting classes on How Not to Ham Up a Tragic Moment. Otherwise, the rest of the cast is equally fine: It’s so good to see Ed Harris (as the dying father) again, and he lives the part with the consummate ease of an old hand. The actress who plays Ed Harris’s personal caretaker/assistant, Elizabeth Olsen, fills out her role perfectly like a doeskin glove. Dennis Haysbert, the pre-Obama first black American President (on “24”) is nice to see, albeit in a small part, but performing every scene he’s in with satisfying professionalism. And last but never least, it was exquisite to cast the always dependable actor Bruce Greenwood as Ed Harris’s long-estranged brother (and a “better father” to Sudeikis than his real father had turned out to be).… Expand

This movie is one of my all time favorites. Undoubtedly, one of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen. Story, cast, screenplay all are great.

Few, if hardly any compromises are present in 'Kodachrome', an endearing, simple, funny, and down-to-earth film that uses nostalgia to its advantage and packs a powerfully emotional payoff that may promote wet eyes.
