LOVEFiLM Review
-
By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLMThe first feature film by Scottish writer / director Andrea Arnold, Red Road is an atmospheric little thriller made up of equal parts paranoia, loneliness and anxiety.

Only 65%?Some of your reviewers are planks..
By QPR Olly from Shepherds Bush,England , 15 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
A tour-de-force.The best British film since Trainspotting-if you enjoy meat for the mind- if you want enjoyable no-brainer fare,watch Hot Fuzz. Grief,redemption and learning to move on are central themes in this slow- building, intriguing thriller set in an outwardly bleak Glasgow but with a Renoir-like humanity ultimately shown by brilliant debut director Andrea Arnold.Many times you think a character might be unsympathetic or evil only to be shown otherwise. Would make a good double-bill with Haneke's Hidden, what with the CCTV's ambiguous gaze at its heart. She doesn't say much as Jackie,(the central character),so Kate Dickie' s poignant,tortured,sad face carrys the spare plot along.A remarkable performance.- Was this review helpful to you?

(248)Right Road
By Cultjunky (17 reviews) , 05 May 2013This was well worth the Cannes award. Very moody, with plenty of realism. Fabulous performance from Kate Dickie, as Jackie. This reminded me of Tyrannosaur, if you liked that, then this is right up your street.- Was this review helpful to you?

Avoid if you mainly like brainless action films and chick flicks
By a customer , 21 Mar 2013I guess there's nothing wrong with liking films which you can just stick on and mong out to. But just because you're that sort of person doesn't mean there's any need to slag off other films. This film is gritty, intelligent and thought provoking and although slow at times is such a good watch. If you can't decide whether to watch this or not, then just consider this: who knows more about films and culture? The Cannes Film Festival Jury or people who can't even use apostrophes and capital letters when writing a film review?- Was this review helpful to you?

love will tear us apart
By Nellysmydogsname (4 reviews) , 15 Feb 2013A dark moody troubled film. The two main characters are well drawn and a stripped back script adds to the desolation and loss. Powerful drama.- Was this review helpful to you?

Portrait of Grief
By FauJ (2 reviews) , 05 Feb 2013Amazing performances, holds the attention and anxiety really well. You can't help but grieve for all of the characters which is a little depressing. Not something to watch when you're feeling cheery but worth a watch all the same.- Was this review helpful to you?

Moving Drama
By tf510 (32 reviews) , 27 Jan 2013Well-acted, poignant drama. Set against the grim backcloth of a working class Glaswegian community, the film eschews obvious stereotyping and has something interesting to say about life, love and death.- Was this review helpful to you?
