Hideous Kinky

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2000 Filmcritic.com

The rambling tale of Hideous Kinky has our favorite Titanic actress on a hippie-style quest to find herself by trekking across Morocco with her two young daughters in tow and no funds for the trip. Does she find herself? Well, I'm not sure, but her kids certainly learn a lot about life. Ultimately, Hideous Kinky is better served as on-screen poetry, full of lush and curious photography throughout northern Africa, and leaving it to the viewer to figure out what it all means.
