Alle Farben des Lebens

Ich hatte erwartet, einen weiteren Film im Stil von Kids Are All Right zu sehen, aber Alle Farben des Lebens funktioniert nicht. Alle drei Ebenen der unterschiedlichen Probleme, in nur 90 Minuten zusammengepresst, bieten Stoff für mindestens eine Serie. Sicher, unausgeglichene Frauen, lesbische Frauen, Transmänner und andere leben nicht in einem Vakuum, aber das, was dargestellt wird, ist nur oberflächlich skizziert. Stereotypen werden verstärkt, aber da der Film eine großartige Besetzung hat, werden sich nur wenige daran stören. Weiter im Stoff. (20.03.2021)

I can't help but see 3 Generations as a concert of three great actresses from three generations, where they are the ones who truly shine. The theme isn't bad at all, but in the end, it doesn't lead to anything surprising that would truly captivate the viewer until the end. Great for the acting mastery, but rather disappointing for the plot itself. (09.02.2017)

Such a powerful story would certainly deserve more compelling cinematic treatment. Many disturbing themes were touched upon only in passing and not dealt with further. What bothered me most, however, was the fact that no deeper emotions of the main characters were conveyed. Considering the stellar cast, it's certainly not a good calling card for any of them.

An exceptionally poignant generational and gender confrontation. It may be bland in terms of filmmaking, but it is all the more character-oriented and the no-name director or the lack of editing finesse are not a problem. The main characters in have incredible depth and an almost perfect sense of the reality of everyday family problems. And it doesn't matter if it's the sarcastic Susan Sarandon who is always on top of things, Naomi Watts who makes emotional charges as usual, or the perfectly cast Elle Fanning. Nothing new under the sun, but a film that tackles a very interesting subject and does it sparingly and genuinely. (13.07.2017)
