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

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

Bleak and funny and still, somehow, flickering with hope.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 15, 2021

The chemistry between Rodriguez and Wood is undeniable, and Rodriguez's more naturalistic performance balances out her costar's affected shuffling and deep, gravely monotone.

| Original Score: B | Feb 15, 2021

Kajillionaire takes a heartbreaking story - a child of abuse trying to escape her sociopathic parents - and bloats it so full of Little Miss Sunshine kook that any emotional sharpness is left soft and doughy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2021

"Kajillionaire" keeps getting sidetracked by its own offbeats, resulting in an experience that's equal parts endearing and exasperating.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 15, 2021

The film's sparkiest revelation is Rodriguez, almost spectacularly charming and skilled as an ingénue schemer with more life experience than she's letting on.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2020

Kajillionaire is one of the weirdest films I have seen of late...this is a compliment, not a criticism.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 10, 2020

Oddities abound in July's gently absurdist films; you either roll with it or not. But when you give in, you go through them childlike, experiencing real and surreal together.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2020

This is comedy wed not just to melancholy but to a deep sense, maybe fear, of failure.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 23, 2020

July has made her best feature. Four fine actors ... make the most of tricky, slippery material. On out-there triumph.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2020

Kajillionaire won't make anyone rich, but who cares?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 13, 2020

Miranda July's films are miniature fairytales played out of tune - whimsical and sweet, with a tartness right at their centre.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 12, 2020

On relationships, July remains as perceptive as ever.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2020

Almost everything on camera is "wacky" with a screamingly conspicuous capital W.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 9, 2020

Kajillionaire has a harder edge than July's earlier pictures, with something bleaker and more ironic in the surrealism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2020

"Kajillionaire" is a rich piece of storytelling, and it feels like a kajillion bucks.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 8, 2020

The unexpected pleasure of Kajillionaire is that, with the singsong delivery dialled down just a notch, you can hear yourself think long enough to decide.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2020

Not quite a critique of the adorable whimsy of her early work, Kajillionaire is a head-on encounter with the psychic tensions that always undergirded it.

| Oct 2, 2020

There is such a delightful and odd sweetness to the friendship that develops between Evan Rachel Wood and Gina Rodriguez... It's a really weird movie, but also a really sweet and human one.

| Sep 30, 2020

Kajillionaire is a movie about love, and loneliness, and it's funny and bittersweet and beautiful.
