Daniels, an actor skilled at delivering hushed poignancy, shares a sincere rapport with Catlett, who furthers the film’s organic tenor with weary eyes that plead for one’s time and grace. His and Daniels’s steady work makes "Color Book" deserving of both.

As with the best films that train their gaze on regular lives lived with quiet forbearance, not a lot and everything happens.

Color Book is a beautiful film about loss and the need to move on even when it hurts.

I can't help but reflect on the brilliant simplicity of this film's title and all the ways Fortune expresses it without needing it to be pronounced the way we are used to.
