Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
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.

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

rotten:
Scarlet Diva has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be.

fresh:
The film, while not exactly assured in its execution, is notable for its sheer audacity and openness.

rotten:
This 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.
