Reviews for Scarlet Diva
It is, by conventional standards, a fairly terrible movie ... but it is also weirdly fascinating, a ready-made Eurotrash cult object. It is also, at times, curiously moving.

Top CriticA pretentious mess.
03/08/02
As original and insightful as last week's episode of Behind the Music.
09/20/02
A 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.

...may work as an addictive guilty pleasure but the material never overcomes its questionable satirical ambivalence. This Scarlet's letter is A...as in aimless, arduous, and arbitrary.
09/01/02
Amid the shock and curiosity factors, the film is just a corny examination of a young actress trying to find her way.
01/17/03
It's difficult to discern if this is a crazy work of disturbed genius or merely 90 minutes of post-adolescent Electra rebellion.
10/20/02
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.
08/09/02
Scarlet Diva has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be.
08/16/02
Top CriticAsia authors herself as Anna Battista, an Italian superstar and aspiring directress who just happens to be her own worst enemy.
08/05/02
This is such a dazzlingly self-assured directorial debut that it’s hard to know what to praise first.
09/19/02
The film, while not exactly assured in its execution, is notable for its sheer audacity and openness.
08/16/02
Argento, at only 26, brings a youthful, out-to-change-the-world aggressiveness to the project, as if she's cut open a vein and bled the raw film stock.
11/07/02
Beneath the film's obvious determination to shock at any cost lies considerable skill and determination, backed by sheer nerve.
08/08/02
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.
