Leave your thoughts about Hideous Kinky.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film's strength is in how all the characters are shown for what they are and no one is that good or that bad, or judged too harshly for their shortcomings. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittWinslet does her most creative acting since Heavenly Creatures, and director Gillies MacKinnon deserves credit for coaxing vivid performances from the children in the cast. |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaThe title and the movie are a perfectly matched pair. Both are pretentious, and neither makes any sense. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughThis is a film about the luxury of being non-judgmental, of spiritual generosity before it's shrunken by diminished expectations. Hideous Kinky recovers that fragile state of mind and vindicates its innocence. |
| New York Magazine/VulturePeter RainerIt augurs well for the long-term integrity of her career that Winslet in this movie doesn't try to ingratiate herself with the audience. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewMacKinnon draws terrific performances from all involved (Winslet bravely refusing to court our sympathies), lets character, mood and meaning take precedence over story, and assembles a great music track as a bonus. Spot on. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA picturesque travelogue of some substance. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe film's gradual slide into a darker vision of the casual selfishness and presumption that often lay at the heart of Westerners' mind-bending journeys to the East is subtle and quietly devastating. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorWinslet suffers from the movie's inability to give a fuller picture of Julia, and in some ways she just seems too grounded, too sensible to carry off the character's flightiness. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisBig ups to the seemingly selfless Winslet for throwing down without throwing her integrity away. |
