Hideous Kinky Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
The fusion of dream sequences and evocative landscapes makes the characters' feverish sense of living at the edge of reality contagious.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Kate Winslet, luscious in a brilliantly colored caftan and flushed from the heat of an African sun, makes a beautiful hippie, circa 1972, in Hideous Kinky.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
A picturesque travelogue of some substance.
Variety
Lisa Nesselson
Kate Winslet continues an uninterrupted line of fine performances with the modest yet affecting Hideous Kinky.
Sacramento News & Review
Mark Halverson
Gillies MacKinnon spins Esther Freud's autobiographical novel into an intriguing, somewhat muddled tale of escapism and revelation.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It seems to please the Baby Boomer generation, but it didn't please me.
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Winslet is terrific as a mother whose quest for spiritual enlightenment comes at the expense of her family.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
It augurs well for the long-term integrity of her career that Winslet in this movie doesn't try to ingratiate herself with the audience.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Ms. Winslet movingly captures Julia in all her obliviousness and optimism, then watches how she awakens in ways she least expected.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Big ups to the seemingly selfless Winslet for throwing down without throwing her integrity away.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Screenwriter Billy MacKinnon had to have struggled to write convincing dialogue about searching for spiritual enlightenment. Much of what comes out of Julia's mouth sounds like babble.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
Winslet 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.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
To my immense disappointment, MacKinnon's title is grossly misleading: There is nothing particularly hideous nor kinky about Hideous Kinky.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Thanks in part to Kate Winslet's adventurous performance, it's a more vivid and even affecting movie than it deserves to be.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie's tension comes from our own uneasiness about the mother, who with the best intentions seems to be blundering into trouble.
