Review of Reds (1981) by Erica T — 20 Jul 2007
A long 3-hour epic much in the same vein as 'Gone With the Wind' (but better in my opinion) is purely brilliant. Warren Beatty (who also directed) is just incredible as Jack Reed, a revolutionary.
Sure, it moves at an extremely slow pace, but if you're actually willing to watch and appreciate such art as this, you will see what a great film this truly is. Sure, the film is flawed mainly due to its astoundingly lengthy running time, but it is powerful, engaging and well made.
A job well done, but 'Reds' is slightly overpraised.
