The cinematic equivalent of scabies ... and I mean that as a compliment. Full Review |

Everyone 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.

Amid the shock and curiosity factors, the film is just a corny examination of a young actress trying to find her way. Full Review |

3/4 |
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. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
It's difficult to discern if this is a crazy work of disturbed genius or merely 90 minutes of post-adolescent Electra rebellion. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

As original and insightful as last week's episode of Behind the Music. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
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. Full Review |

As home movie gone haywire, it's pretty enjoyable, but as sexual manifesto, I'd rather listen to old Tori Amos records.

This is such a dazzlingly self-assured directorial debut that it’s hard to know what to praise first. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
...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. Full Review |

The film, while not exactly assured in its execution, is notable for its sheer audacity and openness. Full Review |

Scarlet Diva has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Beneath the film's obvious determination to shock at any cost lies considerable skill and determination, backed by sheer nerve. Full Review |

"Argento splatters her colorful life on the screen like an adolescent's diary, trusting others to sort through the fascinating mess." Full Review |

|
2/5 |
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. Full Review |
