The performances are entertaining and the story is one that most of us can relate to. Is it groundbreaking? No. But if you are looking for a movie that will make you laugh, feel good, and you enjoy Dolly Parton, this will be an enjoyable film for you.

| Original Score: C | Aug 27, 2024

“We need more Dollys in the world,” is the message of this raucous but hugely enjoyable comedy, which, at the same time, reminds us that there is -- and can only be -- one Dolly Parton.

Seriously Red is the kind of movie we should be getting instead of bland biopics.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2023

Not as sharp as it should be... but it's got a lot of sweet and really wonderful scenes.

| Mar 3, 2023

…makes a convincing case for why you should always aspire to be yourself, even when such pre-packaged and successful skins as Dolly Parton are around…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 23, 2023

Messy or not, there’s still enough here to recommend a blasé Sunday morning watch. Even if it’s not that funny, the movie still exudes an innocent, warm glow.

A woman pays tribute to Dolly Parton by impersonating her but then the character starts taking over her life. Unique idea but not enough for a full length movie.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 19, 2023

Destined to become a queer-beloved cult classic along the lines of "Priscilla" and "Muriel's Wedding," Aussie director Grace Otto's delightfully dizzy "Seriously Red" has one hell of a lead at its center. Krew Boylan…a star ready to be born.

| Original Score: B | Feb 16, 2023

This movie needed to give us more incentive to care about its characters. All that stands out are the music performances, and Boylan's chemistry with Webber.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 16, 2023

[T]he humor and emotional beats never fully click.

| Feb 15, 2023

Lead actor and screenwriter Krew Boylan is a better actor as fake Dolly Parton than writer. The film is set within the world of Aussie celebrity impersonators. Rose Byrne plays a faux Elvis. Austin Butler has nothing to worry about.

| Original Score: B | Feb 12, 2023

Boylan has the creamy skin and bright blue eyes to shine in the Dolly moments. The musical numbers, presented with sweetness and sincerity, are a lot of fun. The real life scenes are not as lively or effectively staged.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 11, 2023

This entertaining Australian import introduces a provocative premise but has trouble figuring out what to do with it.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 10, 2023

Seriously Red is a fun film that cashes in on the zeitgeist's love for Dolly Parton while giving audiences an important lesson in self-love.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 10, 2023

Seriously Red has its moments but they don't add up to much.

| Feb 10, 2023

The exploration is deep, very deep, so much so that one could easily imagine a much darker and edgier film could have been the result. As it is, "Seriously Red" sneaks up on you.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2023

... struggles to find its rhythm with counterfeit personas who are more compelling than those without the makeup.

| Feb 10, 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.

| Feb 10, 2023

The effect given...is more garish than it is charming, with an unintentionally nightmarish fever dream of a dance sequence best representing this feature’s peculiar style.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 10, 2023

Seriously Red abandons the simple, potential pleasures and humor of its premise for subjects it isn't nearly equipped to handle...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 10, 2023
