A successful artist looks back with loving memories on the summer of his defining year, 1974. A talented but troubled 18-year-old aspiring artist befriends a brilliant elderly alcoholic painter who has turned his back on not only art but life. The two form what appears to be at first a tenuous relationship. The kid wants to learn all the secrets the master has locked away inside his head and heart. Time has not been kind to the old master. His life appears pointless to him until the kid rekindles his interest in his work and ultimately gives him the will to live. Together, they give one another a priceless gift. The kid learns to see the world through the master's eyes. And the master learns to see life through the eyes of innocence again. This story is based on a real life experience.
Leave your thoughts about Local Color.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasKriter-director George Gallo has given the stocky, ever-commanding Mueller-Stahl a heroic, bravura role and has been rewarded by the actor with a towering, complex portrayal that is surely among his finest. |
| PajibaDustin RowlesI made it 37 minutes in before concluding that I liked Trapped in Paradise better. |
| Digital SpyDaniel SaneySporting truly wonderful performances, particularly from Mueller-Stahl, Local Colour is an enjoyable and moving experience. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfLocal Color is a sensitive portrayal of a young painter trying to sharpen his gifts and it's also a deeply flawed piece of filmmaking. It's a movie that will have you loving and loathing the world of art, often in the same instant. |
| Christianity TodayAnnie Young FrisbieDespite the color that Mueller-Stahl and Morgan bring to their roles, Local Color remains as flat as a monochrome painting. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenBeneath its layers of sentimentality Local Color means what it is says. |
| L.A. WeeklyJohn TottenhamFor a purportedly autobiographical work, the events of this labor of love from director George Gallo, fit seamlessly into the fabric of the standard coming-of-age movie. |
| Time OutS. James SnyderThe sweeping landscapes look flawless, but missing from Local Color's canvas is any nuance in its human elements. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSteve RamosLacks the quality storytelling and visual beauty needed for all-important critical acclaim and positive word of mouth. |
| Slant MagazineBill WeberLocal Color is a sappy brick to the audience's forehead. |
