The queasy mixture of sympathy and curiosity that Red Road evokes is evidence of a talented, risk-taking filmmaker discovering her power.
04/13/07
Top CriticIt's dynamite, the kind of sexy, paranoid, creepily atmospheric picture that invades all your senses at once.
01/24/07
Top CriticAndrea Arnold’s Red Road, from her own screenplay, is the director’s remarkable feature-film debut after three internationally well-received shorts, Milk (1998), Dog (2001) and Wasp (2003).
04/04/07
Top CriticA slow-burning but enticing thriller, it captures its working class Glaswegian setting in absorbing detail.
11/02/06
some may find the denouement a tad sentimental, but it is a long, dark and twisted journey that takes us there, scrutinising the shadier contours of human loss and guilt like a grainy face on a screen.
06/13/07
Red Road is a knockout first feature from Andrea Arnold... Her intimate thriller raises moral questions as it ponders guilt, revenge and redemption.
05/11/07
Scary and utterly original.
04/13/07
A strange sort of map of the city [is] spread across these fragmented cubes of visual information. And there's also the metaphorical map of the characters' lives, where they're coming from and where they're going.
09/20/07
For a voyeuristic medium, this tale of a voyeur does a poor job of prying into its own protagonist's life.
06/01/07
Top CriticI like that you're never sure where this road is going to lead.
07/09/07
specific and real -- punishingly so.
04/12/07
A detailed character study that yanks us into the emotions of someone we might not glance at twice if we saw her on the street.
05/03/07
A 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.
05/04/07
Jackie's story extends beyond her control, no matter what she sees, thinks she sees, or tries to see.
05/30/07
It’s incredibly tense.
10/28/06
What we have here is one of those very long, very slow dramas that might just have worked if the inevitable twist ending had been worth sticking around for. But it isn’t.
10/27/06
What this debut feature delivers in terms of storytelling and style, however, isn’t just the promise of potential; it’s the sign of someone hitting her stride straight out of the gate.
