Review of Reds (1981) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 11 Mar 2008
As for Beatty, Reds is his bravura turn. He got the idea, nurtured it for a decade, found the financing, wrote most of the script, produced, and directed and starred and still found enough artistic detachment to make his Reed into a flawed, fascinating enigma instead of a boring archetypal hero.
I liked this movie. I felt a real fondness for it.
