A gentle, pleasant film about people you genuinely like.

Following Woody Allen, Ang Lee and any number of sitcoms, Georgia Lee constructs her well-shot, well-written film around three daughters.
By John Anderson FULL REVIEW

Think of Red Doors as a promise, and hope that Georgia Lee keeps it.
By Ty Burr FULL REVIEW
63
Packs five films' worth of drama, crises and revelations into one, and often lapses into sitcom triteness.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
60
Everything you'd expect from a frosh-indie effort: stilted dialogue, oversimplified relationships, sitcommy goofiness, and cringe-inducing romances. And yet Red Doors is so well-meaning, with such obvious affection for its characters, that it pleases nonetheless.

Ma, who portrayed the stone-faced General in the Coen brothers' comedy "The Lady Killers," once again plays his role largely silent. As the despondent Ed, Ma says more with a few facial expressions & twitches than most performers could hope to with a three-page monologue.
By Scott Warren FULL REVIEW
50
A lightly feminist, good-naturedly comic sketch of a Chinese-American family in crisis. But despite pic's earnestness and obvious good intentions, narrative elements, carefully set forth though they may be, fall back on overfamiliar, underdeveloped tropes.
