Kodachrome

Matt is an executive on the edge and, to make a long story short, meets up with his estranged terminally ill father (a photojournalist...Ed Harris). They embark on a road trip From New York to Kansas to get the last rolls of films developed. The story unfolds as a road trip does and is really heartfelt. Ed Harris is...well Ed Harris. He does a great job as does Jason Sudeikisas who plays Matt his son. Enjoyed it. Great soundtrack.

It popped up in my Netflix feed when it premiered, and being a Jason Sudeikis fan I watched it right away. Also loved Elizabeth Olsen in it. She’s definitey the real talent in the Olsen family

Really good stuff.

As an aside, although there are no labs developing Kodachrome using the Kodachrome process anymore, there are still a few labs that will develop it in black and white. The color information could conceivably be recovered later by various means since the color information on the film isn't lost, it's just not visible.

There's been some progress in color processing of kodachrome but unlike the original process the color is not stable. Best scan it before the color fades. Some of the chemicals used in the original Kodachrome process are unacceptably toxic or no longer available.

The image will be lost if the film is never developed so it may be a worthwhile to have Kodachrome developed in black and white if you happen to find some never-developed rolls of kodachrome in grandma's closet.
