Winslet is terrific as a mother whose quest for spiritual enlightenment comes at the expense of her family.

Audience Reviews for Hideous Kinky

I enjoyed the movie. I watched it a while ago so I don't have much to offer. I remember thinking that it was very pretty. The young girls were adorable.

This drama was a little slow moving and not hugely exciting yet enjoyable and intriguing and an opportunity to delve into a new culture.
