Color Book Ratings & Reviews

Kevin WardJune 30, 2025

Color Book is a wonderfully tender film. Just a dad and his son trying to make it to a baseball game—but underpinned by a full spectrum of emotion. William Catlett is phenomenal as Lucky, a single father trying to hold it together after his wife passed, now raising their son Mason (Jeremiah Daniels), who has Down syndrome. Lucky's love for Mason is unwavering, but never idealized. We see his frustration, his fear, his exhaustion. One particular sequence where Mason becomes separated from Lucky on the subway brings all those feelings to a head—it’s raw, visceral, and taps into a primal terror every parent knows, heightened here by Mason’s added vulnerability. It’s shot in the most gorgeous black and white. No flashy melodrama, just honest, lived-in emotion. Quiet, beautiful, and so full of heart.
