Review of Red Riding Hood (2011) by David Denby for The New Yorker — 23 Mar 2011
Like an idiot, I came to this movie hoping that director Catherine Hardwicke-who made her debut with the bad-girl shocker "Thirteen" (2003)-might engage in a feminist interrogation of the old fairy tale, just as French filmmaker Catherine Breillat has with "Blue Beard" (2009) and "The Sleeping Beauty" (2010).
Instead this is a muddle-headed horror flick.
