MOVIE REVIEW

Alex Ross Perry’s ‘The Color Wheel’ more indie than the indies

By Wesley Morris

 |  Globe Staff  

  May 17, 2012

*** The Color Wheel Alex Ross Perry’s comedy is a road trip involving a graduate student and his estranged younger sister, played by Perry and his co-writer, Carlen Altman, that culminates with them lying together in momentary defiance of platonic fraternity. The incest isn’t funny. It’s serious — and sensual, and the one moment the filmmaking and ideas and verbal jabbing achieve something bold. (88 min., PG) (Wesley Morris)
