Matt, a recently divorced, struggling music executive on a downward spiral when his father’s nurse Zooey (Elizabeth Olsen) show ups unexpectedly. His estranged father Ben (Ed Harris) – a celebrated photographer – has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. After finding four rolls of Kodachrome film, Ben’s dying wish is for Matt to drive him cross-country to process the film at Dwayne’s – the last place in the world that still develops Kodachrome – before Kodak shuts down their lab for good. Hauling half a lifetime of baggage and resentment, Matt, Ben and Zooey set out for the long, redemptive road trip from New York to Kansas. Time is running out for Ben to rebuild his relationship with Matt and to develop the film before those captured moments are gone forever. (Icon Film Distribution)

Kodachrome is pretty good, but it would look better in an indie jacket. The story of the late reconciliation of a grumpy famous photographer with his estranged son is strong and believable thanks to the performances and the characters (especially Harris’s bastard, a full-fledged reflection of the actors best period), but with a twist that we can see coming far in advance, and we just wait for it as the minutes go by. That wait is supposed to be shortened by the traditionally beautiful Elizabeth, but her character is actually a bit redundant – I would give twice as much time to her to at least improve the aesthetic aspect of the movie. I didn’t get bored and had a good time with the characters, though there were a couple of things that bothered me: the repetitive car rides accompanied by melancholic music, in what universe would such a beautiful woman take care of an annoying geezer, and what kind of moron would be as rude to her as Sudeikis? But those are just personal quibbles, the good impression left by this well-written road movie with the emotionally portrayed relationship of the lead characters still prevails. 70%
