ConsequenceRandall ColburnOct 21, 2016
As with most Duplass-produced films, Rainbow Time perhaps ambles a bit too awkwardly into its ending. But, if it weren’t already clear, this is a messy movie about messy people, unique in both its character dynamics and worldview. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichNov 4, 2016
Lynskey’s performance insists that every scene — no matter how warped or incestuous — ultimately returns to the notion that relationships are a balancing act between change and acceptance. Read full review

Village VoiceChris PackhamNov 2, 2016
Lynskey is a luminous counterpoint to Phillips's energetic earthiness, but they can't lift a story with so much killjoy ballast. Read full review
