Audience Reviews for Fast Color

  • Sep 12, 2020
    A restrained and impressively handled low-budget sci-fi that looks like the origins of something bigger (as the subsequent television adaptation may prove) but it's the very restraint and focus on mood that ultimately undoes it's potential. There's a good concept here and it's an empowering, female centric, superhero narrative but it's has pacing issues which make it feel like a slog sometimes. The good performances and sporadic inventive visuals, however, just about get it over the line.
