Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) It’s an intimate film with a roomy embrace. Rated: 4/5 Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Kambole Campbell indieWire Funny, joyful, and brimming with confidence. Rated: A- Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International It’s as sweet as its candy-store colour palette, but there’s emotional nourishment in the film’s delicate handling of teen angst and loneliness. Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek This film is beautifully illustrated and sensitively portrays two girls forming a band and finding friendship and faith as a minority in Japan. Rated: 4/5 Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Ryan Guar Discussing Film The Colors Within has an immersive quality unlike any other animated movie released in 2024. The film specializes in providing warmth as it celebrates the joy of experiencing and creating great art. Rated: 5/5 Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Daniel Kurland CBR Audiences will get lost in The Colors Within's moving melody, even when some of the notes come out flat or miss their mark. It’s a reminder that life is one big imperfect symphony, but it’s a lot easier to get through with the right orchestra. Rated: 8/10 Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
