Audience Sentiment
Awakening in the underworld
The dance and music sequences
The film peaks early with stunning underworld visuals but crashes hard during awkward musical interludes before recovering somewhat
Scarlet starts strong with impressive visual worldbuilding and an intriguing Hamlet adaptation, but suffers from jarring tonal shifts, repetitive messaging about revenge, and bizarre musical sequences that disrupt the narrative flow. The film recovers partially in its action sequences and climax, resulting in a mixed but ambitious effort from Hosoda.
