Movies like Kodachrome don't come around often enough in my opinion. When they do, they're left by the wayside and not seen by many audiences unless they look deep into the release schedules each year. Thankfully, that's become slightly easier for people these days. Netflix has become the grounds where movies land if studios don't have faith in them on the big screen. That fact alone can either mean they think it's a terrible movie and won't translate well with an audience or simply just the fact that it's not marketable enough. I will absolutely be arguing that latter. When it comes to raw human emotion in a realistic scenario, Kodachrome is the epitome of a film that I'd recommend to someone looking for just that. Here's why one of Netflix's latest films demands to be seen by lovers of the dramatic genre.Finding out that his father has cancer, Matt (Jason Sudeikis) unwillingly agrees to bring his father across the country in order to develop his film. This store is the only remaining place who develops and they are in their final days. Along for the ride is his father's caretaker in Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen). The drive of this movie is the fact that Matt hates his father for being such an arrogant prick throughout his entire life and whether or not they will find a way to get along before it's too late. Sparking a connection with Zoe, an off-beat romance begins, sending this film in a new direction that I wasn't expecting.Seeing that Sudeikis and Olsen had been cast in these particular roles sort of made it obvious that there would be a slightly love interest throughout the movie, but the twists that this scenario presents, more than makes up for the predictability. Personally, I've never seen a more sincere performance from Sudeikis and Olsen delivers a very solid one as well. The standout here is easily Ed Harris as Matt's father because he can go from zero to a hundred in a matter of seconds. He can make you hate him, love him, and sympathize with the cruelest of dialogue. I found myself rooting for his character to have some sort of empathy at least once by the end of the film. In terms of chemistry and cast in general, this is one of the best I've seen assembled this year.Yes, at its core, it's a very simple story about a father and son taking a road trip before the inevitable goodbye. Taking trips down memory lane and having scenes where characters truly get moments to shine are really what makes this film memorable in my eyes. I find myself looking back on this film and wanting to revisit certain moments because every aspect in terms of character is fleshed out in fantastic ways. Kodachrome is a movie that you'll easily predict as each act begins, but there are some emotional surprises along the way that may just have you in tears, as it did for me.Kodachrome is a very dramatic film that fans of the genre will find enjoyment in. It's whether or not you fully connect to any of these characters that will have you loving the overall experience or not. For myself, I was able to see where everyone was coming from and I was in tears on multiple occasions. From small reminiscing scenes where characters talk about their tastes in music to raw sequences where characters break down when reflecting on their life, there was never a moment that felt tacked on in my opinion. This is one of the most pleasant viewing experiences I've had all year. Kodachrome is a fantastic drama from beginning to end.

I watched this on a bus from Toronto to Niagara Falls. It wasn't too different to a lot of road-trip movies that are released, where the characters are on more than one kind of journey. Jason Sudeikis did well as the lead.

You reall grow to hate it and love him.

A cutting and touching father-son story that allows the cast to shine. As befits the road-trip nature of the film, it has a killer soundtrack to drive to.

It was a good movie! I'd watch it again.

This was a decent Road Trip Drama that pulled at the heart a few times. It made me want to go back to the good old days. However this was one predictable Road.

Few, if hardly any compromises are present in 'Kodachrome', an endearing, simple, funny, and down-to-earth film that uses nostalgia to its advantage and packs a powerfully emotional payoff that may promote wet eyes.I encourage all future viewers of this film to watch it with your father. It can be a strong bonding experience for the both of you.

A love story on three levels; an estranged dying father and his family, adult man and woman tossed into circumstances against their will and the love of photography and the images that only Kodachrome can provide. Ed harris delivers and its a wonderful story.

A stale relationship between a father and son for longer than a decade comes to an understanding and final conclusion during a road trip from New York to Kansas to develop the last roles of Kodachrome 35 mm film. Enjoyable story.

I have never commented on a film before, but I came across the film "Kodachrome" on Netflix and was incredibly surprised. For a film that got very little publicity, this is a hidden gem. The performances of Jason Sudekis, Ed Harris and especially Elizabeth Olsen are all outstanding. The script is sharp and occasionally cliched, which is to be expected for a simple story. But the film is moving, nostalgic, thought-provoking and just a pleasure to watch. With all the crap being produced for theatrical release, it is very comforting to know that small, quality films like Kodachrome are still getting financed, and attracting such great talent.

KODACHROME N'EST PAS VRAIMENT ORIGINAL MAIS, GRÂCE À PARTICULIÈREMENT UNE EXCELLENTE PRESTATION D'ED HARRIS ET UNE BONNE RÉALISATION, PARVIENT TOUT DE MÊME À RESTER INTÉRESSANT DU DÉBUT À LA FIN.

A solid by-the-numbers type dramedy...yeah that's pretty much it. There's a few laughs and real solid performances to make the film seem worth it. Simply put, it's an easy watch but at the same time it has a 'forgettable' label hanging over it.

Such a good movie. Predictable yes but the acting is incredible.

I loved the movie. It feels very natural and the father-son dialogues felt very real. Elizabeth Olsen does a great job and again acts very natural. I will admit I shed a tear but that is probably because I have a baby daughter and my testosterone levels could be under normal. I would absolutely recommend this film!

You may be able to guess from the onset where this film is going, but its more about the journey than the destination. A spot on performance by Harris along with strong showings by Olsen and Sudekis, this roadtrip is worth taking. An estranged father and son drive cross country to the last lab in the world developing kodachrome film, in order to develop said estranged father and noted professional photographer's four rolls of film that had long been forgotten.
