VarietyJoe LeydonFeb 10, 2023
Director Gracie Otto’s Seriously Red disarms and delights as a sensationally spirited concoction that neatly balances unfettered outrageousness and unabashed sentimentality. Read full review

As it is, Seriously Red sneaks up on you. Read full review

TheWrapDan CallahanFeb 8, 2023
The result is touching precisely because Boylan does not aggressively ask for sympathy for her character. She earns it by being fair, sensitive and honest as a performer but especially as a writer. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkFeb 8, 2023
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. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayFeb 9, 2023
Even at its bluntest, Seriously Red draws a lot of heat and light from Boylan, whose Red enjoys embodying the casual confidence, folksy wisdom and bombshell bravura of one of the world’s most beloved entertainers. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiFeb 8, 2023
The performance factor alone is fantastic and engaging. Boylan’s own performance is convincing and occasionally even emotional, but her acting talents unfortunately can’t overcome the issues that stem from the writing. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreFeb 8, 2023
Aussie actress Krew Boylan turns out to be a better Dolly Parton impersonator than screenwriter in Seriously Red, her self-scripted star vehicle. It’s a self-serious and seriously-confusing identity crisis comedy tucked into what might have been a gender role romp of the “Connie & Carla” variety. Read full review
