Despite being about a dying man and very strained relationship with his son, the pace, humour and simplicity still make this a feel-good film. Ed Harris is amazing in this film, it's worth watching for his performance. That and the script hold this otherwise simple story together. The premise of the film is true - in 2010, the last Kodachrome developing lab, a family business in Parsons, Kansas, was the last remaining lab to develop Kodachrome film and briefly becama a mecca for film photographers. You don't have to be interested in photography to enjoy this film, it's a road movie and other than the basic premise, it's more about music. If you are interested in photography, the photos used in the film are from Steve McCurry and the camera Ed Harris' character uses is a Leica M4-P.
