Alex Karpovsky picks at a navel better left ungazed.

Peter Debruge
Variety
In an era when awkwardness is the new self-confidence, the director manages to be palpably neurotic without trying too hard.

February 22, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Sara Stewart
New York Post
If it's all reasonably familiar indie-comedy terrain, it's delivered at a brisk, economical clip with plenty of laughs, and a series of running gags that keep getting funnier.

Andrew O'Hehir
Salon.com
If only "Red Flag" were funnier and tighter and had a sharper idea about what it means to blur the lines between self-interrogation and self-absorption.

February 21, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Rachel Saltz
New York Times
Karpovsky's anxiety-ridden shtick here combines the crippling doubt and self-loathing of many Woody Allen protagonists with the obnoxious solipsism of Larry David.

February 21, 2013 | Rating: 7.5/10 | Full Review…

Ian Buckwalter
NPR
Owing a debt to Albert Brooks' early comedies, "Red Flag" might be too much if it weren't just right.

February 21, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Joe Neumaier
New York Daily News
Though the premise of Red Flag is meta by nature, at the end of the day it amounts to little more than a decently entertaining yet largely dispensable road trip movie.

April 15, 2019 | Rating: 6.3/10 | Full Review…

Bernard Boo
Way Too Indie
Starring roles in two of his own micro-budget indie films suggest a future that won't involve lattes or Lena Dunham.

Greg Evans
Bloomberg News
Karpovsky is an engaging screen presence, doing comic artistic neurosis in "Red Flag"..an explosion of work from an intriguing filmmaker.

Marshall Fine
Hollywood & Fine
Establishes Karpovsky as the Woody Allen of the digital media generation: As he presents himself here, he is as self-absorbed as Allen, but his comfort with new technology results in a lo-fi video diary that the perfectionist Allen would eschew.

John Beifuss
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
...your tolerance for Karpovsky himself, who has appeared in several Lena Dunham projects, will determine your appreciation; based on an informal survey, I find him more amusing than most.
