Leave your thoughts about The Color Wheel.
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonLike Howard Hawks's Twentieth Century, it's a travelogue movie about a couple whose impossible, porcupine personalities leave them safe, finally, for nobody's company but each other's. |
| Boston PhoenixChristopher GrayThe Color Wheel requires a brand of empathy mainstream audiences are unaccustomed to, but rewards it with nearly revolutionary insight. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoIt's so rare to see something this scathing and sweet and strange that I have to recommend it enthusiastically. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleYou might not "like" Perry's movie, but it's hard to deny the forensically assured sensibility at work. |
| Seattle TimesJeff Shannon"The Color Wheel" partially recalls the scathing audacity of "The Graduate" some 45 years ago. |
| Time Out ChicagoA.A. DowdAlex Ross Perry's The Color Wheel begins as a scrappy, antagonistically funny road comedy and ends as something altogether stranger. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenAltman and Perry manage a teasing banter that's true to most brother-sister relationships, while also hinting at an additional edge. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisYou can feel the movie building away from the whiny comedy and toward something more emotionally raw then something sexually weird. |
| OregonianShawn LevyThere's handmade and then there's amateurish. This, alas, is the latter. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouMichael NordineA feat not only of filmmaking but of the mind's ability to deflect what it doesn't want to accept. |
