Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Every stop on the path [in Rainbow] is forgettable, except for the weird CGI moments, and that’s only because it looks bad. Rated: 4/10 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review John Sooja Common Sense Media Whether playful musical or modern realism, the tone of Rainbow is decidedly both. But there are plenty of moments that seem to contradict these two modern vibes so colorfully and carefully plastered all over the film's presentation. Rated: 2/5 Oct 12, 2022 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Rainbow provokes an unusual indifference and a question, "why?" Rated: 2/10 Oct 7, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider Its mysteries and curiosities, its wonderments and bafflements, show an openness to experience and experimentation that’s admirable, if not always functional. Oct 4, 2022 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Rainbow is one of the most misguided and convoluted films in recent memory. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 1, 2022 Full Review Fernando Bernal Cinemanía (Spain) A journey through an imaginary territory that never manages to pick up speed and whose sequences... faint within their own rhythm.

Jazzu P I watched it in spite of unfavorable reviews and Im glad because I loved it. It’s surreal and unexpected and visually stunning. Maybe I loved it right away because I was a Y2K raver and that’s how shes dressed, but as it progressed I was amused by all the strange characters and places she encounters and the plot is simple , but effective . Shes looking for her mother and it’s not the answer she imagined and learns from that. And the music is great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Musica A Movie is just sooooo bad that I fast forwarded through the movie and watched the whole thing in about 22mins and even that was 20mins too long. Definitely going to make one of the worst movie watch for 2025 for me on Netflix. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Audience Member This was one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen in my 57 years. I think it might be best appreciated by a teenager high on drugs. It brings to mind 1970s psychedelic movies. Meaningful connections to The Wizard of Oz were very few. I was hoping for some version of the scene where the Wizard passes out gifts that the recipients really already have, but there was nothing like that. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure who the Wizard was supposed to be. The lawyer?? On the plus side, it was often visually interesting. And Dora was easy on the eyes. This is one of those movies that might be better with the sound turned off. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost 2hrs of clownery with no real substance, no real story to follow, incredible predictable & poor writing. Feels like the actors step on to set without any direction or script and improvised without following any storyline. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review julien e Exploratory and aesthetically captivating. Sexy while being refreshingly unsexualized. Sprinkles of queerness that feel celebratory without becoming an unnecessary focus. Strange in a way that feels genuinely expressive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
