Red Roses and Petrol Reviews
Boxoffice Magazine
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo
Mired by clich and oddly beset by a sense of false Irishness.
Film Threat
Eric Campos
I(TM)d rather just sit in on one of my own families squabbles; we(TM)re much more entertaining.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
As even a novice moviegoer would expect, they argue and drink, then argue and drink some more.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Solid performances and a literary feel help turn a standard family-rift drama into a dry but saucy narrative.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
If, as Tolstoy observed, happy families are alike, and each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, the Dublin-set film Red Roses and Petrol didn't get the message, being a dysfunctional clan movie that feels dispiritingly like all the others.
Boston Globe
Michael Hardy
Because Petrol is so grim, its few moments of repentance and reconciliation don't feel as contrived as they might otherwise; if any film has earned the right to be sentimental, it's this one.
Chicago Tribune
Maureen M. Hart
Little about the Doyles makes you want to partake of their sour hospitality, even if it's only for an hour and a half.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Hoffs locks down her characters in unimaginatively framed medium shots, while mixing in a few monochromatic flashbacks, some video footage of the dead patriarch and two fast-cut sequences in a vain attempt at visual variety.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Tamar Simon Hoffs's bland-as-boiled-cabbage adaptation of Joseph O'Connor's play finally hobbles into theaters, reminding us every 15 seconds that just because it looks distinctly American and was shot in California, it's a fookin' Irish movie.
Los Angeles Daily News
Rob Lowman
With her static camera, director and co-writer Tamar Simon Hoffs has done little to move it out of its staginess.
New York Times
In Red Roses and Petrol, a soused, post-funeral postmortem on a dysfunctional Dublin family, the misery seeps from the screen in cold, damp waves; by the end you'll be grabbing for the bottle yourself.
