Brought together by the unexpected inheritance of an abandoned house in Normandy, four cousins, previously strangers, discover a mysterious shared past. Two centuries earlier, Adèle Munier, their ancestor and owner of the house, left her rural home for Paris in search of her mother's identity, at the heart of the city's modernization and the rise of Impressionism. As her descendants follow in her footsteps, they unravel Adèle's past to forge their own future. Two intertwined periods collide, as the family members' contemporary perspectives are pitted against the fascinating reality of 19th-century Paris.

Jessica Kiang Variety May 27
...“Colours of Time” doesn’t want to surprise so much as to please, and the multiple, largely antagonist-free storylines are just charming enough to keep the absence of real conflict from becoming a problem. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International May 22
Colours of Time nudges its audience a little heavily, if cheerfully so, with its historical references, and self-confessedly plays fast and loose in its accuracy, but is genially inventive in messing with the codes of period cinema. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About 2d
A charming fairy tale positively brimming with kindness, both for its people and for our art. Go to Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Nov 29
4.5/5
The script, which could easily sit alongside Alain Resnais’ lighter works, earns its own originality through its endearing characters and narrative fluidity. Go to Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Nov 26

Clumsy approach to dual timeline undercuts light, undemanding drama about love and art across 130 years Go to Full Review Monica Reid Far Out Magazine Nov 22
4/5
Adele’s lack of experience allows us to see familiar art forms and social movements with fresh eyes, from the perspective of someone for whom they are completely new. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alexander B @Alexander_Bell 4d Finally a film whose director thought of little else but the script. Funny, deep, and truly moving at times, without employing cheap tropes to keep you interested. The film stands tall on its own two feet, keeping you glued to the screen with its charming little side stories and a focused, driven plot. If nothing else, this film masterfully makes the case for the perpetual existence of Art, and how it is inextricably linked to a person's experience of life, freedom, and the pain and joy that come along with it.
