As I wrote this review two years after the release of Harman Phoenix, I can’t help but really want to lean into my honesty. Even when I interviewed photographers about what this film is, they seemed kind of lukewarm about it. Harman released the first original color film in several years. That’s a wonderful thing. But just because they did it, doesn’t mean that it was something they excelled on in every single way. In fact, that’s really how I feel about the film. I appreciate that it exists and that it looks like a slide film that had color tinting to it. But I think that there are much better films on the market.
