B-
Sayles aims to create characters and threats, aiming to deal honestly and epically with the lead character's descent into hell. Unfortunately, "The Lady in Red" is a Roger Corman production. Go to Full Review Quentin Tarantino The New Beverly 06/22/2020
We feel every single emotion Polly feels. We go on this epic journey with Polly. That's why when the film reaches her hard-fought final freeze frame we're all exhausted. Go to Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) 01/18/2011
3/4
'It hurts,' Polly says, after losing her virgnity to a lying cad; this is her defining comment, and a succinct summation of Sayles' judgment on the screwing that much of America takes every day from the people in charge. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Parallax View 12/07/2010
This is populist moviemaking, Corman style, courtesy of that old lefty John Sayles. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 06/25/2005

thiago s Aug 18 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Richard W 11/27/2024 I think this was supposed to be just a b movie ,i think roger corman had a hand in this ,but it actually turned out pretty good ,give it a chance See more Jamie K 01/06/2022 A rock-solid character drama that embodies the rawness of exploitation cinema. A jam packed 90 minutes with phenomenal performances, particularly by Louise Fletcher. See more s r @ScottR 09/02/2020 Cheap and pointless. See more 04/25/2015 another lost review-grrrrr See more 07/02/2009 Forget that new movie, this is where it is at! I'm not a huge fan of heist movies. But, by manufacturing a "strong female gettin" no breaks" story for Polly the Corman crew make Dillinger"s death full of emotions that most bio-pics loose in trying to be "authentic." More than that- seeing Christopher Lloyd be so evil is frightening... and then they throw in Robert Forrester just to get my pulse going. See more Read all reviews
