Scarlet's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
Smaller, sweeter and more sensitive than Marcello?s earlier work.
The Wrap
It?s a bit of a mess, no doubt about that, but a fascinating one.
Screen Daily
Quietly rewarding thanks to an excellent cast whose faces we observe in frequent close-ups as their dirt-poor characters do their very best with scant resources
The Hollywood Reporter
It?s not groundbreaking stuff, but Marcello has a talent for making such material come alive through his inventive direction, whisking us away to a time and place that we experience as if we were actually there. It?s not enough to make Scarlet a great movie, but it?s one that manages to puts us in its shoes the way few films nowadays do.
The Playlist
The arresting visual competency of Scarlet, which includes the clever use of archival footage previously seen in Marcello?s Venice darling ?Martin Eden? and the beautifully composed textures of its cinematography, can?t salvage its muddled pace.
