	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This is the kind of film that makes you feel intensely alive while you're watching it (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Lisa Nesselson Variety	"Another deft, deeply affecting variation on Krzysztof Kieslowski's recurring theme that people are interconnected in ways they can barely fathom"	POS
United States	Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"'Red' is not a movie by a filmmaker who has run out of ideas, but one by an artist at the height of his powers"	POS
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"'Red' succeeds so stirringly that it also bestows some much-needed magic upon its predecessors (...) [The end] is satisfying without being pat."	POS
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"The third and best feature (...) of Krzysztof Kieslowski's highly ambitious 'Three Colors' trilogy"	POS
United Kingdom	Derek Malcolm The Guardian	"'Red', though embellished by a marvellous performance from Trintignant, does lack something that his very best work possesses."	NEU
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Nothing happens by accident in a Kieslowski film (...) [It creates] an intersection where all of the trilogy's characters collide"	POS
United States	David Ansen Newsweek	"No homework is required to appreciate the ravishing images of this fable (...) An exhilarating experience"	POS
United Kingdom	Steve Beard Empire	"A superb example of French arthouse which is also very watchable (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
