Leave your thoughts about Scarlet.
| Film ThreatSumner ForbesFor those following the career trajectory of Pietro Marcello, the feature works as another example of a nuanced filmmaker delivering a surprisingly different kind of cinematic experience. At its core, this is a memorable portrait of a father-daughter relationship and the power of dreams above all. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleClassify Pietro Marcello’s sweet new film Scarlet at your own risk, because its pleasures are as diverse and unexpected as a stroll through uncharted lands: Mapping the terrain wouldn’t be half as enjoyable as letting the place host its own truths and enchantments. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzIt's all over the place, and if there was a way to unify all of its disparate elements, the filmmaker never quite figured it out. You just have to agree that it's all of a piece and accept it isn't going to settle into any one mode for very long. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeSmaller, sweeter and more sensitive than Marcello’s earlier work. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisOne of the attractions of Scarlet is that it doesn’t fit obvious categorization, which means that you’re not always sure where it’s headed or why. The vibe is by turns sober, warm, melancholic and playful to the point of near-silliness. |
| The Film StageDavid KatzWith a work like Scarlet, so gossamer-airy and enchanting that it could almost be family-adjacent viewing like Petite Maman, we are witnessing Marcello in a mercurial, mid-career stage, watching his sensibility truly take shape. |
| Paste MagazineJesse HassengerAs-is, Scarlet is a beautiful loll, content with its self-made magic. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerIt’s not groundbreaking stuff, but Marcello has a talent for making such material come alive through his inventive direction, whisking us away to a time and place that we experience as if we were actually there. It’s not enough to make Scarlet a great movie, but it’s one that manages to puts us in its shoes the way few films nowadays do. |
| TheWrapBen CrollIt’s a bit of a mess, no doubt about that, but a fascinating one. |
| Screen DailyLisa NesselsonQuietly rewarding thanks to an excellent cast whose faces we observe in frequent close-ups as their dirt-poor characters do their very best with scant resources. |
