	Author	Review
United States	Damon Wise Deadline	"Raucous but hugely enjoyable comedy, which, at the same time, reminds us that there is —and can only be— one Dolly Parton"	NEU
United States	Dan Callahan The Wrap	"Insightful comedy (...) Touching precisely because Boylan does not aggressively ask for sympathy for her character. She earns it by being fair, sensitive and honest"	POS
United States	Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"What the script thinks is unique about itself is all surface level, resulting in a film that feels like a copy of a copy of something that maybe once had been original but now feels as fake"	NEG
Canada	Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant	"The performance factor is fantastic and engaging. Boylan's performance is convincing and occasionally emotional, but her acting talents unfortunately can't overcome the issues that stem from the writing (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Australia	Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald	"It's great fun and a welcome reminder of what we have been missing since those high-camp hits of 30 years ago (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant	"'Seriously Red' never gets beyond a surface-level reading of its themes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	John Fink The Film Stage	"The film does fall short of being the rousing comedy it sets out to be, falling into a fairly predictable pattern with a neat resolution and concept that it delicately doesn’t turn on its head."	NEU
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"The brazen Australian actor wrote a terrific role for herself, and her absolutely fearless performance is a marvel to behold in Gracie Otto's engagingly uninhibited comedy-drama"	POS
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"The exploration is deep, very deep (...) As it is, 'Seriously Red' sneaks up on you. It's not what it seems to be on the surface (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Despite the best cameo efforts of Dannii Minogue, Krew Boylan’s passion project is too frantic and narcissistic to convince (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
