The Elizabeth Olsen Dramedy Hidden Gem You Can Find On Netflix

While some movies are based on novels or true stories, Kodachrome was inspired by a New York Times article by A.G. Sulzberger about "Kodachrome, the first successful color film and still the most beloved." The movie is a dream for photography enthusiasts and music lovers alike, and it tugs on your heartstrings throughout. 

Elizabeth Olsen plays Zooey Kern, the nurse and caretaker of a terminally ill man, Ben Ryder, who's long had a bad relationship with his adult son, Matt Ryder. One day, Zooey shows up unexpectedly at Matt's office and announces that his estranged father is dying. Ben's last request is for Matt to join him and Zooey on a road trip to Parsons, Kansas. The city is the last frontier of Kodachrome film-processing production, and Ben wants to make sure his last piece of film is developed. What it contains is anyone's guess.

Even though this movie isn't based on a true story, it feels like it could be. The talented cast delivers when it comes to character development, and Elizabeth Olsen shows a side of herself that's complex, realistic, and full of emotional depth.
