Fast Color Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Justin Chang
A terrific movie that juggles several different genres with enormous skill and economy.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
Fast Color is an exceptional, poetic ride that cries out for further exploration.
The Mary Sue
Valerie Complex
At the core, this compelling cast of women holds the film together with their empathetic, earnest performances.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
It's the rare superhero film that proceeds without a devotion to the spectacular that filters out, from the start, all the interest that's generated from close attention to ordinary life.
Polygon
Karen Han
The sense of grandeur that Fast Color possesses comes from just how rewardingly the story unfolds, as well as how gorgeous it is in every respect.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The story crafted in images is mysterious and moving, whether in the quick flashes of memory that invade Ruth's psyche, or the beautiful special effects that render the women's unique abilities.
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
Fast Color demonstrates that you don't need a giant budget or decades of established IP to do superhero or sci-fi well on the big screen.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
The quietly confident Fast Color focuses on generational change in the face of relentless bureaucratic evil and the power of children and young adults to change the world.
Observer
Rex Reed
The title Fast Color is just as meaningless as everything else in the movie, which hobbles along stretching the parameters of female empowerment to pad out the running time but fails to hold audience attention.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
When 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.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Fast Color's" ruminative pacing is often dull, and the lack of conflict and suspense undercut the film's noble intentions and unique storytelling approach.
Washington Post
Alan Zilberman
By finding the right note of empathy, Hart creates a space for the audience to share their doggedly earned hope.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Fast Color is extraordinary and not to be missed.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Fast Color" is a nifty little film, a smart, adventurous and surprising production made with visible care and considerable love.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
This is one of my favorite movies of the year so far.
Shadow and Act
Monique Jones
Often, we see the meme-like statement "Trust Black women" espoused on social media. However, as Fast Color proves, trusting Black women means empowering them and believing in their abilities to make the world a better place.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Mbatha-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.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Rewarding despite its restraint, the movie has an elasticity that pushes the imagination in any number of directions, offering an expressive allegory for a lineage of powerful black women whose strength, unleashed, could literally shake the earth.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Filmmaker Julia Hart sometimes trips on her ambitions in this minimalist superhero movie that takes on race and female empowerment. A stellar Gugu Mbatha-Raw, as a woman nearly undone by her psychic gifts, reminds us that not all heroes wear capes.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's hard not to see in "Fast Color" a reflection of the current national mood. But there are winning and losing strategies for doing such reflection, and a static story about static characters is inevitably a loser.
