Red Roses and Petrol Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo
Mired by clich and oddly beset by a sense of false Irishness.
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.
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.
Film Threat
Eric Campos
I(TM)d rather just sit in on one of my own families squabbles; we(TM)re much more entertaining.
