Color Me Kubrick is not without its wacky charms principally driven by John Malkovich's contortions as Conway.

| Feb 3, 2020

It's simply not a movie, not as it stands. It's a five-minute demo reel stretched to feature length.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 27, 2007

Any picture featuring a sped-up version of the "William Tell Overture" is so drunk on its own whimsy that it most likely sucks with a dedicated vigour.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 26, 2007

Malkovich captures not only the nuttiness of Conway, with his smorgasbord of foreign-sounding accents, but also his pathos.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 9, 2007

Conway looked and sounded nothing like Kubrick and didn't even research his supposed identity. He's clearly a fascinating character who deserves a better movie.

Not only is there nothing there, the nothingness is a complete bore. When a film's highpoint is a soundtrack that relies heavily on other soundtracks, you've got problems.

| Original Score: D | Apr 1, 2007

The irony of Color Me Kubrick is that the visual tricks merely serve as a backdrop for Malkovich's inspired high-wire performance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 1, 2007

A little bit like a coloring book -- flip the pages and each is pretty much like the one before, escalating variations on the same scam, with Malkovich filling in the cartoonish shadings, and occasionally going way outside the lines.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 1, 2007

It literally only has one idea in its head, and when that idea runs dry, it's as lost as Conway is without his plethora of Kubrick masks.

At best a kitschy Catch Me If You Can and at worst a tedious comedy.

It's an impressive moving wax museum, certainly, but even metatextual follies eventually need a pulse.

| Original Score: 3/6 | Mar 31, 2007

This is a kicky little movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 31, 2007

Director Brian W. Cook should know that hopes are seldom high for movies that debut on DVD the same day they hit the multiplex.

Fans of John Malkovich will most appreciate Colour Me Kubrick. For the rest, this is an amusing little blip on the movie radar screen.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 27, 2007

Even if the film is essentially a one-man show, a one-man show starring John Malkovich is bound to be really damn good.

John Malkovich has a blast, so will you!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2007

[A] loopy lark...the sheer goofiness of the premise, together with its gossipy 'insider' nature [and] the take-no-prisoners performance of John Malkovich...carry it along.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 26, 2007

It's no 'Six Degrees of Separation' but Malkovich charms the audience as much as his marks, making this solid sit-com entertainment

| Original Score: B | Mar 24, 2007

If you're a fan of Stanley Kubrick or just a die-hard film buff, you may find this weird, semi-documentary an absolute hoot. I did.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 24, 2007

Kubrick stumbles around with eyes wide shut.

| Original Score: C | Mar 23, 2007
