Kodachrome is proof of the concept that solid direction and superlative acting can transform even a mediocre script into something worth watching. At its heart, Kodachrome is a middling road picture – a film whose every plot point is predictable. If you guessed at the beginning how it’s going to end, you’d likely be correct. Narratively, there are few (if any) surprises and the key relationships develop without twists or turns. Yet, like a well-made romantic comedy that follows all the rules, Kodachrome engages because the dialogue pops and the actors are sufficiently invested that they give breadth and depth to characters who are, for the most part, underwritten.
