Malkovich captures not only the nuttiness of Conway, with his smorgasbord of foreign-sounding accents, but also his pathos.

Not only is there nothing there, the nothingness is a complete bore. When a film's highpoint is a soundtrack that relies heavily on other soundtracks, you've got problems.
Tom Long, Detroit News

The irony of Color Me Kubrick is that the visual tricks merely serve as a backdrop for Malkovich's inspired high-wire performance.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
It literally only has one idea in its head, and when that idea runs dry, it's as lost as Conway is without his plethora of Kubrick masks.
Tasha Robinson, AV Club
Rotten
It's an impressive moving wax museum, certainly, but even metatextual follies eventually need a pulse.
