All Critics (25) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (12)

A really bravura piece of filmmaking and a brave central performance.

San Francisco Chronicle
The cinematic equivalent of scabies ... and I mean that as a compliment.

Nick Schager
Lessons of Darkness
It's difficult to discern if this is a crazy work of disturbed genius or merely 90 minutes of post-adolescent Electra rebellion.

October 20, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
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.

Manohla Dargis
Los Angeles Times
The film, while not exactly assured in its execution, is notable for its sheer audacity and openness.

Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter
Scarlet Diva has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be.

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly
Scarlet Diva is an ambulance-chasing hot mess that will still register with viewers as shocking, ridiculous, or both.

I definitely want to watch it again. I'm not sure exactly what I saw the first time, but I loved it.

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.

Audience Reviews for Scarlet Diva

Mar 20, 2011

Very good directorial debut from Asia Argento. Look forward to seeing her other films.

ZACHO D Super Reviewer
Apr 12, 2008

Fascinating, disturbing, confused. Shows the ugly side of fame - the alienation, betrayal and effects of drug abuse. This film is certainly not glamourous or particularly titilating as might be expected.

Nicki M Super Reviewer
Nov 04, 2007

Really strange semi-autobiographical darkly dramatic in what sexy Asia Argento stars, directs and writes this weird film. But Asia looks bloody hot in her naked and sex scenes. Whoo!

Dean M Super Reviewer

Asia Argento makes my teeth sweat but this one wasn't doing too much for me.
