Insight wins out, though, and this is a bittersweet, surprisingly moving film about connection that feels particularly poignant now.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 10, 2024

Wood somehow manipulates potential caricature into something fully alive.

Miranda July’s talent as a storyteller lies in her ability to walk the fine line between pathos and fanciful comedy, and Kajillionaire is arguably her strongest work yet.

| Jul 25, 2023

There are few movies quite like Miranda July’s Kajillionaire. What begins as a movie about grifters and scam artists turns into one of the most achingly honest portrayals of loneliness ever made.

| Jul 25, 2023

Boasting a character-driven narrative and a unique filmmaking style, Evan Rachel Wood and Gina Rodriguez share impressive chemistry, elevating their characters’ relationship, which is definitely the most captivating arc of the whole movie.

| Original Score: B | Jul 24, 2023

Kajillionaire is a hilarious and heartfelt heist dramedy, led by an eccentric and enormously entertaining Evan Rachel Wood.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

For all of July's quirks and visual peculiarities, her brand of filmmaking fits an indie narrative structure that manages to be universal in its oddball specificity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2022

It's a heist film, but one so singular and beguiling in tone that to group it in with that genre would be misleading.

| Sep 24, 2021

Kajillionaire's exaltation of closeness gains heart-tugging resonance in our socially distanced world.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2021

A quirky, uplifting story that will make you appreciate the kindness and affection you receive from anyone who truly cares about you.

| Original Score: B | Jun 24, 2021

Kajillionaire offers something different again. It's a strange, refreshingly unique movie that will leave viewers happier to have seen it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 17, 2021

Every minute of Kajillionaire, the latest quirky film from quirky filmmaker, actress, artist and writer Miranda July, is peculiar, specific, intentional and successful.

| Jun 17, 2021

Kajillionaire is a keenly empathetic look at kindness and intimacy, neglect and emotional violence, loneliness and trust, prettily packaged in brightly coloured absurdism.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2021

There are aspects of this film that remind me of 'The Royal Tenenbaums' with its dark, subversive humor, headed up by Richard Jenkins, who plays a perfect scoundrel. All four main characters are well fleshed out and quite quirky.

| Original Score: B | Mar 8, 2021

It's rare for a film to feel so rich, so unique and so completely the sum of its parts, but July's third feature manages that feat.

| Mar 1, 2021

Kajillionaire gets at least a mild recommendation because it is so far from standard fare. In a world packed full of formulaic films, many of them reboots, sequels and prequels, this almost surely is one you haven't seen before.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 21, 2021

Kajillionaire might be [Miranda July's] most accessible and rewarding film.

| Original Score: B | Feb 17, 2021

Kajillionaire is funny, original, sad and singular. In other words, it's Peak Miranda July.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 15, 2021
