Critic Reviews

F. X. Feeney

This is such a dazzlingly self-assured directorial debut that it's hard to know what to praise first. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

What a world we'd live in if Argento's Hollywood counterparts -- say, Sarah Michelle Gellar, or even Christina Ricci -- had this much imagination and nerve. Few of them, at any rate, have Argento's reserves of lonesome passion and unspigoted woe. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

It's a demented kitsch mess (although the smeary digital video does match the muddled narrative), but it's savvy about celebrity and has more guts and energy than much of what will open this year. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Certainly it's not for everyone, but fans of Euro-sleaze will groove on Argento's obvious charms and the film's dystopian thrill ride, while the rest will probably doze off dreaming Fassbinder dreams. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Though Scarlet Diva contains flashes of pungent black humor and self-deprecation, it's hard to know how seriously Argento takes herself, or how much her real life has been inflated for dramatic effect. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Italian actress, writer and director Asia Argento's performance in the godawful Scarlet Diva is one of those bawl, spit, scream and vomit exhibitions that provoke admiring applause in acting classes and great gales of laughter in theaters. Read full review
