Leave your thoughts about Fast Color.
| TheWrapMonica CastilloWhen all the puzzle-like pieces come together, the movie’s characters, story, score and emotions soar. The pace of that progress may feel slow, but things never get too quiet. It’s a movie with a racing pulse, and you can feel its heart in every frame. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWorking with an economical running time of 100 minutes and a relatively modest budget, Hart infuses Fast Color with genuinely moving drama, an engrossing, supernatural-sci-fi mystery and some pretty darn impressive special effects. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMoody and strange, Fast Color has a solemnity that haunts almost every frame. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattMbatha-Raw brings a fierce, quiet containment to the lead role, and Hart builds so much mood through her atmospheric cinematography and deliberately slow pacing that it nearly papers over the sketched-in quality of the script. Eventually, though, you start to wish her characters would speak in more than just vague koans and disaster-movie platitudes. |
| Washington PostAlan ZilbermanPacing notwithstanding, Fast Color succeeds on the strength of its ideas. |
| Film ThreatNatalia WinkelmanThe movie's mood is so sincere, its allegory so heartfelt, that it's easy to forgive the theatricality. In our anxious era, Fast Color presents an elegant study of motherhood and black womanhood through a highly original lens. |
| Crooked MarqueeJason BaileyIt's a thrill to see[Gugu] Mbatha-Raw finally bite into a role worthy of her talents, and Ms. Toussaint, one of our finest but less-acknowledged character actors, shines in a long-overdue showcase role. |
| The Movie SleuthMichelle KisnerJulia Hart has crafted a fantastic low-fi science fiction film that features three strong women who are trying to find their place in a world that both fears them and requires the powers that they wield. |
| The PlaylistKimber MyersThere should be more films like Fast Color. Movies that demonstrate that you don’t need a giant budget or decades of established IP to do superhero or sci-fi well on the big screen. |
| Chicago TribuneKatie WalshHart and Horowitz's script connects the dots on the meaning and messages of the film, which is thrilling in its radicalism. But the execution is heavy-handed, sapping the joy of discovery from the film packed with so much originality, brilliance and beauty to be discovered. |
