Kodachrome

Kodachrome is pretty good, but it would look better in an indie jacket. The story of the late reconciliation of a grumpy famous photographer with his estranged son is strong and believable thanks to the performances and the characters (especially Harris’s bastard, a full-fledged reflection of the actors best period), but with a twist that we can see coming far in advance, and we just wait for it as the minutes go by. That wait is supposed to be shortened by the traditionally beautiful Elizabeth, but her character is actually a bit redundant – I would give twice as much time to her to at least improve the aesthetic aspect of the movie. I didn’t get bored and had a good time with the characters, though there were a couple of things that bothered me: the repetitive car rides accompanied by melancholic music, in what universe would such a beautiful woman take care of an annoying geezer, and what kind of moron would be as rude to her as Sudeikis? But those are just personal quibbles, the good impression left by this well-written road movie with the emotionally portrayed relationship of the lead characters still prevails. 70% (30.01.2019)
