It's a demented kitsch mess (although the smeary digital video does match the muddled narrative), but it's savvy about celebrity and has more guts and energy than much of what will open this year.
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

This is such a dazzlingly self-assured directorial debut that it's hard to know what to praise first.
F.X. Feeney, L.A. Weekly

Scarlet Diva has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The film, while not exactly assured in its execution, is notable for its sheer audacity and openness.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
This is an egotistical endeavor from the daughter of horror director Dario Argento (a producer here), but her raw performance and utter fearlessness make it strangely magnetic.
Megan Turner, New York Post
