Reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 47% based on 38 reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10. The website's consensus reads, "Manipulative and content to fall back on charmless camp for most of its runtime, Seriously Red is a serious letdown."[6]

Dan Callahan of TheWrap praised the script and Boylan's performance.[7] Damon Wise of Deadline Hollywood called the film "raucous but hugely enjoyable".[8] Mae Abdulbaki of Screen Rant rated the film two out of five stars and criticised the writing while calling the performances "fantastic and engaging".[9]
