Critics Consensus

A grounded superhero story with more on its mind than punching bad guys, Fast Color leaps over uneven execution with a singular Gugu Mbatha-Raw performance.

This is an ambitious project from director Julia Hart, who is a talented artist in her own right. There’s a lot here to like, and you can see the pieces of an incredible film here...

Vague Visages

In Fast Color, cast members bring warmth and empathy to their roles. David Strathairn is a welcome presence in a key supporting part.

Kept my attention throughout but wasn't riveting in any way. It's a fairly standard late-2010's/2020's movie with conventional themes and styles of the time.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
