Leave your thoughts about Red Road.
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsIt is a film that stealthily pries open the most hardened hearts, defying expectations and offering us a heroine we realize we cherish about 30 seconds after we finally decide we like her. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertA hypnotically absorbing suspense story in the Patricia Highsmith mold, Red Road draws us in with doom-laden images of high-tech voyeurism before pummeling us with shock twists. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsArnold reminds us that the best thrillers don't settle for taking the audience away from their everyday experience; rather, they burrow inward and, by sheer power of cinematic observation, make it hard for us to look away lest we miss something--on a screen or off. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunRed Road is an atmospheric little thriller made up of equal parts paranoia, loneliness and anxiety. |
| Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine)Gina CarboneI couldn't get this film's quiet power out of my mind. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittA detailed character study that yanks us into the emotions of someone we might not glance at twice if we saw her on the street. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyIt's a wonderful debut, despite all the pain you may feel watching it. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxAcademy Award-winning live-action-short director Andrea Arnold makes a startlingly assured debut with this low-key psychological chiller. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA spellbinding, intelligent thriller that takes its time to get where it's going but is well worth the trip. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanThe acting in 'Red Road' is understated and superb, however that doesn't compensate for the overall dreariness of this film. |
