| Washington PostJoe BrownIt doesn't matter that Kika doesn't make sense -- doesn't even try to make sense. It's just so much fun to watch. |
| MovielineStephen FarberAlmodovar's latest movie, Kika, is...an outrageous campy comedy about the omnipresence of tabloid TV. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinKika" is actually one of this film maker's more buoyant recent efforts, a sly, rambunctious satire that moves along merrily until it collapses -- as many Almodovar films finally do -- under the weight of its own clutter. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelUsing his typical assortment of aggressive female characters, Almodovar spends more time on the fashions of his protagonists than on their souls. |
| User ReviewMaija II couldn't remember ever laughing this much!!! |
| User ReviewMimi JPedro Almodavar wins... visually great, really fascinating film. |
| User ReviewSandra DAnother of the different, intense movies of Pedro Almodovar. You will be entertained for sure...Excellent for the psycologist in your mind.... |
| User ReviewMikael KKika es el himno de los noventa en cuanto al cine de Almodovar refiere..esa mezcla tán magica de Victoria Abril con Peter Coyote es única..la mano de Jean Paul Gautier y Versacce en el costume designer es menester en esta cinta tan mágica,bizarra e ilarante...cabe destacár que la actuación de rossy de palma en este film es la mejor en su filmografÃa "almodovariana". |
| User ReviewAldair FTo me, the best Almodovar's movie. He's at the highest level of his typically dirty sexy image (not only the women, everything), abandoned only with Talk to Her. All great characters, but, of course, Kika is the best, a wonderfully peculiar (highly!) sensible and realistic woman. |
| User ReviewAmy COh I love you, Kika! And a great salute to Pedro Almodovar and Jean Paul Gautier's fashion direting in here. Just so colourful and vivid.. Oh how lovely this is..! |
