- 80The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweRaso takes Kodachrome (shot entirely on Kodak motion picture film) as a departure point to keenly deconstruct the bonds that hold families together and the betrayals that drive them apart, relying on an unshowy style that emphasizes the actors’ captivating performances.
- 67IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandThe conventional road trip dramedy mines that father-son dynamic for all its worth, but Sudeikis and Harris are very much up to the task, and their chemistry helps the film rise above its tropes.
- 63The Associated PressLindsey BahrThe Associated PressLindsey BahrSudeikis, in particular, shines in this unusually dramatic role and exhibits a depth he touched on in films like “Sleeping with Other People” and “Colossal” but that he really gets to live in here.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattEntertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattKodachrome isn’t a bad movie, it just never for a moment feels like a real one: A road-trip dramedy so schematic and loaded for emotional bear it feels like it was generated by a Sundance screenwriting app.
- 50VarietyAndrew BarkerVarietyAndrew BarkerThanks to some likable performances from Jason Sudeikis, Elizabeth Olsen and Ed Harris, it’s an entirely watchable if entirely by-the-numbers throwback to the sweet-and-sour Sundance-style indie films of yore. But there’s a blurry boundary between “vintage” and simply “passé,” and Kodachrome is too often caught on the wrong side of that line.
- 50The PlaylistKevin JagernauthThe PlaylistKevin JagernauthMarked with a conveyer belt quality, Kodachrome is every indie dramedy you’ve seen before, just like more of you’ll see after, and unlikely to create a cherished memory that you’ll want to revisit.
- 40Village VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimVillage VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimNetflix’s Kodachrome is good fall-asleep-with-the-TV-on fare, and I mean you should snooze out immediately unless you want to be subjected to a criminally mediocre family drama.
- 40The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergIf this earnest and forgettable road movie represents a meaningful tribute to taking pictures, we ought to go back to cave drawing.
- 33The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakThankfully the performances try to elevate the plot since each character seems catered to the actor cast.
