Red State Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Justin Chang
Calculated to outrage and executed to underwhelm, Kevin Smith's Red State is like a dull blade slashing wildly, predictably and ineffectually at its target.
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
Full of controversial subjects and interesting characters, it's the story that ultimately fails.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
If his performance were contained in some other film, a so-called 'serious' movie about religion and politics, for example, Michael Parks would be discussed as an Academy Awards contender.
BET.com
Clay Cane
'Red State' is full of many 'almosts' - it's almost action, almost horror, almost groundbreaking and almost excellent.
Film School Rejects
Robert Levin
A simplistic, poorly-constructed exercise in low-rent genre moviemaking. It's as if Kevin Smith made the movie just so he could promote it.
OK! Magazine
Phil Villarreal
Director Kevin Smith rebounds in a major way from the Cop Out debacle with a heady thriller that subversively comments on religion, law enforcement, the media and gun control.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's a charming if conspicuously unfinished film, a half-riotous, half-idiotic send-up of the teen horror genre with a vaguely hip political twist.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
This is easily Smith's most mature endeavor to date, and it shows significant growth as a filmmaker. And that's what makes Red State both a triumph and a let-down.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
As separate acts, as well written movements meant to completely undermine the state of organized religion today, Red State is mesmerizing.
Boxoffice Magazine
Nick Schager
Ugly characterizations and simplistic preachiness negate the terror in Red State-a film that eventually proves horrific in ways unintended by writer/director Kevin Smith.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Undeniably flawed, but Smith manages to find a unique balance between campy fun and disturbing violence that makes the film a sick and twisted experience you can oddly enjoy.
Film.com
William Goss
Wants so badly to push viewers' buttons, but struggles to reach them more often than not.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
Smith isn't up to doing anything other than setting up caricatures and then knocking them down.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
For all its boisterous profanity and splattery violence, the film is more of a weary sigh than a sputtering volley of indignation.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
With Red State, Smith ventures far outside his comfort zone of endlessly chatty films about pop-culture-damaged slackers and into exhilaratingly unfamiliar waters. He's taking as many bold chances artistically as he is commercially.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
Neither the masterpiece Smith's partisans claim nor the bomb his detractors insist.
DVDTalk.com
Jason Bailey
Kevin Smith may not care what I have to say, and may be inexplicably trying to keep me from saying it, but here goes: 'Red State' is sturdy, unnerving, and kind of brilliant.
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
For pages and pages Smith decides to tell not show.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
Red State is cleverly contrarian enough to get a rise out of almost any audience.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
A messy, ambitious disappointment.
