Leave your thoughts about Rainbow Time.
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoAn impressive showcase for Phillips both in front of and behind the camera, showing a considerable restraint both in playing Shonzi and writing for him. |
| Consequence of SoundRandall ColburnAs with most Duplass-produced films, Rainbow Time perhaps ambles a bit too awkwardly into its ending. But, if it weren’t already clear, this is a messy movie about messy people, unique in both its character dynamics and worldview. |
| IndiewireDavid EhrlichLynskey’s performance insists that every scene — no matter how warped or incestuous — ultimately returns to the notion that relationships are a balancing act between change and acceptance. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyPhillips - as both director and actor - has trouble with the film's key character; he's so insufferable, he upsets the delicate balance they seem to be going for. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeUnassuming but warm and thoroughly involving. |
| The PlaylistElizabeth MacLeodA personal, yet impartial picture about the messy complications and contradictions of brothers, family and personal relationships. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoRainbow Time is all over the place dramatically, but somehow Linas Phillips ties together a sometimes wacky, otherwise off-beat family dramedy from perspectives unknown. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... audacious in the way it portrays a developmentally challenged adult as an insensitive jerk without seeming insensitive itself. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayIt’s not exactly side-splittingly funny, and it doesn’t amount to much. The ideas are strong, but the storytelling’s practically nonexistent. |
| The MacGuffinBrooke CorsoRainbow Time is about two brothers trying to achieve a semblance of control through the lens of a camera, where any insecurity can be spliced, edited, and erased. |
