I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Outrageous, delightful, astonishing one man show by the phenomenal John Malkovich. They tell us the story is a true-ish tale and they could have fooled me because it feels, the story and the character, like escapees from a Monty Python project. John Malkovich goes further that most people who ventures into a trueish story. Leonardo Di Caprio in "Catch Me If You Can" plays a true life con who gets away with the most incredible things but we buy that people buy it because there is something so believable in Di Caprio's persona. John Malkovich goes the opposite way. He doesn't care whether you believe it or not because he believes it. It is a spectacular performance and that alone makes Color Me Kubrick a must.

So-so movie. Mostly quite dull. Details Alan Conway's impersonations of Stanley Kubrick in 1998, but every impersonation/con doesn't add anything to the previous one. It's pretty much same ole-same ole, and quite quickly. The only redeeming features are the final few scenes - quite poignant and often hilariously funny. If it wasn't for those scenes this would be a 3/10.Decent performance by John Malkovich in the lead role, though he didn't have to try too hard - seemed like every performance he has ever made.And no, this isn't strictly for Stanley Kubrick fans. I am a fan and was disappointed. The movie is about a Stanley Kubrick impersonator, not the man himself, so really has nothing to do with Stanley Kubrick himself.

i went into this expecting a documentary, or a biopic, or at least a drama that examined the events that occurred around this guy. what i got was a crappy comedy that played like a rip-off of catch me if you can. it seemed to me like they filmed several separate "incidents" that they found funny, then remembered that films are supposed to have plots, so they threw in one scene introducing his roommate as some guy smoking pot on his couch, and then we were expected to have an emotional reaction later on in the hospital scene when he's there and malkovich is pretending not to recognize him? the subplot with the escort service went nowhere and neither did the newspaper one. this director needs some practice.

Before I saw "Colour Me Kubrick: A True...ish Story", I had never heard of this guy who pretended to be Stanley Kubrick. I thought that it was a pretty interesting movie. They set it up so that many scenes look like scenes from Kubrick's films. For example, the opening scene gives the impression of "A Clockwork Orange".John Malkovich plays the impostor (and at one point, he even talks about trying to hire John Malkovich!). I gotta wonder how this guy got so many people to believe his lies, as he neither resembled the director nor knew too much about him. But he clearly convinced some people.Anyway, I found it a fairly eye-opening story about the obsession with fame, if nothing else. Worth seeing.This must be only movie besides "The Shining" to feature the song "Midnight, the Stars and You".
