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.

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

It was a rather cerebral film. It focused on character development and the relationship between the main characters. The acting was stellar. I can't wait to see the sequel.
