A look at an under-explored period in American history that engages with the major political questions of the 20th century with a nuance rare even in small budget films, centered the volatility of love in the midst of political and creative turmoil—a framing almost never undertaken by romantic movies without being overwrought. Somehow the synthesis works, though the film can be tedious and struggles at certain critical points. Also Diane Keaton steals scenes for over 3 hours, which is great.

Beatty conducts a long, bloodless epic about socialists shouting at communists and vice versa. He's okay as the lead but this is mostly kept afloat by Keaton and the supporting cast, especially Nicholson & Stapleton. Could have easily cut the first hour in half, also how exactly did they travel from France to Russia by train in 1917?

As a producer/director, Warren Beatty made nothing but passion projects. This obsessive vision is one of the things I find most fascinating about him. Reds has the veneer of a Hollywood epic, but it's also a small scale, left-leaning story about the complicated romance between two socialist activists, so it doesn't comfortably fit in with the rest of the Hollywood landscape. Just like Beatty himself, I guess.

Warren Beatty's ambitious historical epic evokes Doctor Zhivago, tatters between comedy and semi-serious radical politics, and is somewhat jarringly intercut with documentary-style talking heads reconstructing the life and times of the protagonist. The result is about as respectable as one could imaginably expect from such a premise - by no means great - and I pat myself on the back for sitting through three-and-a-quarter hours of Beatty the actor.

What i learned from this, above anything else, is that even the most well-meaning, heartfelt, and unabashedly pro-Leftist Hollywood historical melodrama is still ultimately just a Hollywood historical melodrama. Also if you're insane enough to watch a three hour movie hoping you might hear some good Stephen Sondheim music you're better off suffering through Dick Tracy.

Too sprawling to really hit hard in any kind of sustained fashion, Reds succeeds best when Diane Keaton's Louise Bryant takes center stage. The conflict within her character between independence and becoming a dependent in love is thought-provoking. However, the film is also interested in Reed's relationship and forays into politics, as well as Bryant's artistic and journalistic pursuits. With so much going on, even the good bits suffer.

I had never heard about this John Reed guy, nor about the events the film was based on, and so the whole political and historical aspect was completely lost on me, and I didn't really care about it anyway. The first half was pretty dull because of this, and then I became interested in the personal lives of the characters which made it watchable - though I still found them to be annoying people.

Reds is boring enough to make me take four days to watch it, but good enough for me not to mind.

"You don't rewrite what I write!" It's more about the individual relationships and when the film realizes this, it works better. John Reed isn't a saint; he's egotistical and beholden to his beliefs.The documentary aspect is fascinating but without any indication (aside from a list of names at the beginning) of who these interviewees are, the resonance is virtually non-existent. It's a stylistic choice that could work, but it falls flat. Keaton does great work evolving Louise beyond a sterotype.

If It wasn't for that completely unbearable first hour I'd give this movie a much better rating. Seriously skip to when they go to Russian and you'd have a great film. With the first hour included, the movie makes me hate the main characters for being so unbearable. All of this is in despite of how interesting the last 2/3's of the film are.
