Kodachrome

About This Movie

Kodachrome is a road movie tinged with a bittersweet nostalgia, exploring the fraught relationship between a father and son. Matt Ryder’s reluctant journey with his ailing father, Benjamin, reveals layers of regret and unspoken feelings, all while they strive to preserve the past through those fading rolls of film. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, reflecting the weight of their shared history. The performances, particularly from the leads, are grounded and resonate with authenticity. There's something heartwarming yet melancholic about their interactions, heightened by Zooey, the nurse who adds a lighter touch to their heavy baggage. It's more about the emotional landscape than any flashy visuals, making it a quiet character study amidst a changing world.
