The Color of Time Ratings & Reviews
Vogue
Nathan Heller
The Color of Time... is the bad chapbook poetry of movies: uncontrolled, gratuitously moody, missing its own point.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
Either Franco thinks his every creative whim doesn't stink, and we should be delighted to sample all his artistic endeavors, or he's a selfless, mentoring, caring teacher.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
The idea of students collaborating with a stable of famous actors is a wonderful story in itself, but to then treat the culmination of the exercise as more than a student thesis film does it a disservice.
Movie Chambers
Paul Chambers
This dreamlike film, directed by twelve graduate students from New York University, fails to make celebrated American poet C.K. Williams much more than a mildly interesting daydream. Despite its top acting talent, it even inspires a deeper sleep.
Under the Radar
Sarah Winshall
The Color of Time serves as a reminder that literalizing and adapting poetry for the screen is usually not a good idea.
Examiner.com
Travis Hopson
Probably should have stayed in the classroom.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Based on Pulitzer Prize-winning poet C.K. Williams's autobiographical work, "The Color of Time" is about poetry, though it has none to speak of.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"The Color of Time" is an odd bird in that its 12 cooks don't necessarily spoil the broth. The problem is that they leave it as broth.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
The film is too sincere an expression of admiration for this poet's work to feel pretentious, but it's like a music video for the poems, often literal in its biographical readings.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A cool concept, and A for effort.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
"The Color of Time," for all the experimentalism of its conception, falls some way short here, and ends up an irreproachably tasteful, easily digestible, but an unsurprising, undemanding watch.
Movie Mezzanine
Tomris Laffly
You couldn't possibly find a more "James Franco" project, produced by and starring James Franco, than The Color of Time, even if you tried.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
Franco makes a lot of art, both good and bad. But no one provides a bolder example of the vanishing lines that used to separate movie stars, fringe artists, and working actors.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
The uniformity of its languorous, lens-flared visuals may wear on all but the most ardent Terrence Malick devotees, many of whom, I suspect, are also grad students.
The Dissolve
Nathan Rabin
Despite the ambition on display, the film feels awfully slight, like a dream forgotten immediately upon waking.
Observer
Rex Reed
Another in a growing line of pretentious James Franco disasters nobody will ever see.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
Pretty and pretty derivative.
Village Voice
Inkoo Kang
Some of the fault lies with the film's 11 directors, whose polished, washed-out, visually consistent contributions aren't separated into individual chapters, but pieced together into an atmospheric whole.
Slant Magazine
Elise Nakhnikian
If The Tree of Life was a contemplation of the universal mysteries and verities of life, The Color of Time is an hour spent scrolling through a stranger's family album.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
There is just about enough narrative to hold interest, while the lyrical camerawork, constantly in motion, blurred images and all, offers a single emotion that is impossible to stretch over a feature-length film.
