A film whose every plot point is predictable, Kodachrome engages the audience because the dialogue pops and the actors are sufficiently invested in a way that they give breadth and depth to characters who are, for the most part, underwritten. Unlike most road trip movies where the destination is largely meaningless, Kodachrome is different, because…
