Todd grew up under the strange shadow of his older, mentally-challenged brother, Shonzi. As kids, Shonzi forced Todd to make action movies. As adults, Todd is pressured to share love life details, even showing Shonzi a sex tape he made with an old girlfriend to help him cope when family tragedy hits. When their dad suffers a heart attack, Shonzi, now 40, moves in with Todd and his new girlfriend. Shonzi wants desperately to be included in their relationship like old times.

Phillips - as both director and actor - has trouble with the film's key character; he's so insufferable, he upsets the delicate balance they seem to be going for.

A movie that's admirably provocative, even if at times it seems to be more interested in being challenging than being entertaining.

Imagine if the Duplass brothers had produced Freddy Got Fingered and you'll be on the right track.

An impressive showcase for Phillips both in front of and behind the camera, showing a considerable restraint both in playing Shonzi and writing for him.

Rainbow Time is about two brothers trying to achieve a semblance of control through the lens of a camera, where any insecurity can be spliced, edited, and erased.

B+

Keeps buoyant with unexpected hits of comedy and mischief, but there's a true understanding of behavior to make matters beguilingly uncomfortable.
