A cross-cultural gem that is spiked with superb performances, colorful characters, and one of the great closing sequences in recent memory.

The title and the movie are a perfectly matched pair. Both are pretentious, and neither makes any sense.

If a primary function of film is to take you away, to fully transport you to another place and time, then Hideous Kinky achieves that in spades.

Winslet does her most creative acting since Heavenly Creatures, and director Gillies MacKinnon deserves credit for coaxing vivid performances from the children in the cast.

The 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.
