Leave your thoughts about Scarlet Diva.
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonA really bravura piece of filmmaking and a brave central performance. |
| United Press InternationalJoe Bob BriggsI definitely want to watch it again. I'm not sure exactly what I saw the first time, but I loved it. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonA clutchy, indulgent and pretentious travelogue and diatribe against... well, just stuff. Watching Scarlet Diva, one is poised for titillation, raw insight or both. Instead, we just get messy anger, a movie as personal therapy. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerThe cinematic equivalent of scabies ... and I mean that as a compliment. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film, while not exactly assured in its execution, is notable for its sheer audacity and openness. |
| New York PostMegan TurnerThis is an egotistical endeavor from the daughter of horror director Dario Argento (a producer here), but her raw performance and utter fearlessness make it strangely magnetic. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonEveryone I know who owns a camcorder has made a self-confessional, semi-autobiographical piece of videotaped wankery, but Asia Argento does it better than all of them. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonWhen twentysomething hotsies make movies about their lives, hard-driving narcissism is a given, but what a world we'd live in if Argento's Hollywood counterparts ... had this much imagination and nerve. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussAs original and insightful as last week's episode of Behind the Music. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIt's difficult to discern if this is a crazy work of disturbed genius or merely 90 minutes of post-adolescent Electra rebellion. |
