Leave your thoughts about Contemporary Color.
| JunkeeLauren Carroll HarrisThe moments when Contemporary Colour diverts from the onstage performances and moves to abstraction are the brightest. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearThis may be one of the few rockumentaries since Stop Making Sense to tap the cinematic potential of sound and vision in a way that feels genuinely collaborative and borderline transcendental. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's more than impressive gymnastics and good music. It's proof that different people from different worlds can collaborate and find common ground. |
| Film Comment MagazineViolet LuccaThe Rosses' film ambitiously attempts to bridge the gaps created by that act of borrowing, but gets stretched far too thin. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzYou could call it a musical performance documentary and not be wrong, but it's trying to do other things too, some expertly and others not so well; but there's never a point where you quite get a handle on it because it keeps changing in front of your eyes. |
| AwardsCircuit.comShane SlaterBursting with the energy of live performance and the impressive artistic synergy of music, dance and acrobatics, this is a visual feast of epic proportions. |
| New York TimesGlenn KennyOver all, this movie is less “you are there” than “you had to be there.” |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerIt's wonderful to watch the older performers mentor their younger collaborators, and it's exhilarating to see stage fright turn into electric confidence in a split second as the kids take the stage. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThe approach is experiential, a you-are-there-and-overwhelmed dazzlement, rather than a definitive record of each squad's big moment. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoIn taking such a pillar of the form as the concert film and reworking it in electrifying fashion, you feel documentary has too, unsure when leaving the theater whether the music or the filmmaking has provided the buzz that refuses to wear off. |
