Critic Reviews for Paint It Black

All Critics (25) | Top Critics (14) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (3)

  • It's as remarkable a depiction of how grief can subsume us and bend reality to its needs as you'll ever see, directed by a talent with a bright future behind the camera.

  • The film, a strong directorial debut from Tamblyn, creates a waking nightmare of seemingly unresolvable pain and anguish."

  • Tamblyn may very well have encouraged McTeer to spin into a ludicrous lioness, but her performance doesn't play well opposite Shawkat's.

    TheWrap

  • It's not an easy movie to embrace, but it lingers.

    Neil Genzlinger

    New York Times

  • An intriguing audio-visual sense, deft editing and Shawkat's committed performance elevate this strangely watchable film.

    Gary Goldstein

    Los Angeles Times

  • Actress Amber Tamblyn's first movie as a director dives headfirst into the hot-button subject of suicide and emerges with expressionistic power with savage grace.
