Based on Pulitzer Prize-winning poet C.K. Williams's autobiographical work, "The Color of Time" is about poetry, though it has none to speak of. Dec 12, 2014 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

"The Color of Time" is an odd bird in that its 12 cooks don't necessarily spoil the broth. The problem is that they leave it as broth. Dec 11, 2014 | Full Review…

The film is too sincere an expression of admiration for this poet's work to feel pretentious, but it's like a music video for the poems, often literal in its biographical readings. Dec 11, 2014 | Full Review…

Franco makes a lot of art, both good and bad. But no one provides a bolder example of the vanishing lines that used to separate movie stars, fringe artists, and working actors. Dec 11, 2014 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The uniformity of its languorous, lens-flared visuals may wear on all but the most ardent Terrence Malick devotees, many of whom, I suspect, are also grad students. Dec 10, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The Color of Time... is the bad chapbook poetry of movies: uncontrolled, gratuitously moody, missing its own point. Apr 26, 2017 | Full Review…

Either Franco thinks his every creative whim doesn't stink, and we should be delighted to sample all his artistic endeavors, or he's a selfless, mentoring, caring teacher. Jun 13, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The idea of students collaborating with a stable of famous actors is a wonderful story in itself, but to then treat the culmination of the exercise as more than a student thesis film does it a disservice. Feb 24, 2016 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

This dreamlike film, directed by twelve graduate students from New York University, fails to make celebrated American poet C.K. Williams much more than a mildly interesting daydream. Despite its top acting talent, it even inspires a deeper sleep. Jan 30, 2015 | Rating: D | Full Review…
