Summary


The film probes the experience of grief in a subjective, intuitive manner, and it achieves remarkable intensity in exploring this theme.

-The Hollywood Reporter

"It’s a wonderful, beautiful film about time and grief and women and love,"[Amy] Poehler added.

-LA Times

Early on in her new film “Paint It Black,” not even a full reel into her directorial debut, Amber Tamblyn shows a profound understanding of loss.

-IndieWire

Like its distraught protagonist, Amber Tamblyn’s Paint It Black is unforgiving, flawed and ferocious.

-The Guardian

What happens to a dream when the dreamer is gone? PAINT IT BLACK is the story of the aftermath of Michael’s death, and Josie’s struggle to hold onto the true world he shared with her. As Josie searches for the key to understanding his death, she finds herself both repelled and attracted to Michael’s pianist mother, Meredith, who holds Josie responsible for her son’s torment. Soon, the two women find themselves drawn into a twisted relationship reflecting equal parts distrust and blind need.
