This could be a recipe for excessive self-indulgence, but the meta quality of Red Flag is entirely irrelevant to its low key charm and persistent irreverence -- anchored, as always, by Karpovsky's loopy screen presence. Read full review

It’s a fun, laugh-out-loud dark comedy, and proves that Alex Karpovsky and crew have made their mark. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

Feb 22, 2013

If it's all reasonably familiar indie-comedy terrain, it's delivered at a brisk, economical clip with plenty of laughs, and a series of running gags that keep getting funnier. Read full review

Michael Nordine

Feb 19, 2013

Some genuinely tender moments—especially the final scene, which at this admittedly early point in 2013 qualifies as one of the best of the year—offset the occasional dramatic misfire. Read full review

Owing a debt to Albert Brooks’ early comedies, Red Flag might be too much if it weren’t just right. Read full review

Keith Uhlich

Feb 19, 2013

Though often funny, there’s a reverse narcissism in the way Karpovsky wallows in his “character’s” off-putting flaws. Read full review

If only Red Flag were funnier and tighter and had a sharper idea about what it means to blur the lines between self-interrogation and self-absorption. As it is, the movie throws off too few sparks. Read full review

It was funny at first but then it just turned out to be super generic. Same old hipster racist sexist comedy we're all getting tired of. I guess that's just where the culture is at right now though so it's not like I hated it, it just isn't what I'm into.
