Reception James Croot in Stuff gave it 3 1/2 stars and says "While not everything works - an Irish accent occasionally goes awry, some dialogue delivery feels a little off - Vermilion is an absorbing drama illuminated by talent that needs and deserves more moments in the spotlight like this." The New Zealand Herald Francesca Rudkin writes "Vermilion is a grown up film. It doesn't feel the need to spell it all out; rather, it encourages the viewer to participate, and form their own ideas about characters and their relationships." Simon Morris on RNZ's At The Movies says "I don't want to be nasty to something as well-meaning as Vermilion, but it's a good example of what's often wrong with so many New Zealand feature films: not enough plot, no conflict, characters that no-one wants to offend."
