“..the movies are full of rage, life and humor, and to find fault with their sloppy editing or awkward performances is to miss the point..”
by A.O. Scott [New York Times]
“..the film never really tries to fit comfortably within any of those genres..”
by Mack Rawden [Cinema Blend]
Review rate : B-
“..the film gets off to a promisingly naturalistic start, until Parks begins a fire-and-brimstone monologue that goes on and on and on..”
“..the film gets off to a promisingly naturalistic start, until Parks begins a fire-and-brimstone monologue that goes on and on and on..”
by Nathan Rabin [AV Club]
“..out of character for the kind of people he gives it to, and like a last minute sop to his established audience..”
by Sam [Horror Movie]
“..might have had time to seek counsel on the eternal battle between good and bad writing..”
by Joe Tyrrell [New Jersey News Room]
“..it is a political film first and foremost; the thrills, spills and horrors play second fiddle..”
by Luke Buckmaster [Crikey]
“..isn't particularly fun to watch with a group. In fact, it's not particularly fun at all..”
by Ryan Daley [Bloody Disgusting]
“..is cleverly contrarian enough to get a rise out of almost any audience..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]
“..is as profane and anti-establishment as any of his other films, but the stakes are infinitely higher this time: This Kevin Smith movie has an astonishing body count..”
by Rene Rodriguez [Miami Herald]
“..all in all, it's a hell of a movie and a mark of Smith's talent, but Red State falls short of his pantheon because for the first time, we don't know who he's mad at..”
by Anthony Benigno [Filmcritic.com]
“..a grim and gory story that's part '70s hillbilly horror, part conspiracy drama, it's not like anything the filmmaker has made before..”
by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger]
