Even the popcorn looked bored during Color Book.
“Straight to the compost bin.”

If Color Book was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Color Book.

Hot Take: Color Book's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Color Book last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Color Book actually is?
Director clearly thought Color Book was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Color Book is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Color Book would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Color Book?
Everyone praising the Color Book performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
