There's a lot goin' on in the time-shifting mystery drama "The Rainbow Experiment". Too damn much, actually.
Not to imply that Writer/Director Christina Kallas isn't abundantly ambitious in presenting this tragic tale set in a New York City High School. But there are far too many ill-defined characters involved in a surfeit of underdeveloped or out and out inexplicable predicaments to make it wholly palatable.
Still kudos go to veteran actresses Laura Pruden as a no-b.s. police investigator with a soul and Francis Benhamou, a school counselor who believes she can rescue kids who sadly may have long since passed the point of saving.
