Kajillionaire Reviews
This is singlehandedly the most rewatchable film I've ever seen- I could marathon this movie over and over and still fall in love the the brilliant acting, the score, and direction- what a brilliant star of a film.
Did not know what to expect, went in completely blind. It was one of the most unique experiences. I felt so moved by the characters, especially Dolio. I've never reviewed a movie but I just had to for this one. Absolutely amazing.👏I will say, it's probably not for everyone. But give this movie a try.
I wasn't aware how divisive the thoughts were on this movie but some people really liked it and some people really didn't. I was one of the people who loved it. The shots are so cinematic, and beautiful. The story is meant for someone specific, it's not for everyone, it's quirky, sad, and yet leaves you with a lingering hope for love. Not even kidding this movie has been living in my soul for close to a year now.
Wasn't a fan. Very little personal growth from the parents.

What a bizarre movie. The exaggerated efforts to express the disfunction of this poor girls family life were just over the top and just nonsense to any degree.
Beneath the quirky, often humorous, and downright bizarre antics lies a gritty tale of parental oppression and its aftereffects.
Felt some tense on behalf of girl. Besides I enjoyed bery much
I didn't expect so much before watching. a weird film but it has a style.
The kind of nonsensical hollywood movie that is embraced by the industry and people who pretend to have elevated taste in the arts that the rest of us lack. In reality, this story leaves you with for too many questions about the characters. Most of the screen time is dedicated to a writer and director trying to be clever instead of developing the story.
I loved absolutely everything about this movie.
A difficult film, but it came out well.
slow as heck. terrible plot. weak main character. waste of time
Possibly one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. It's hard to imagine anyone this strange has ever existed. I doubt I would recommend this movie to many people. Its totally understandable that a lot of people would think this movie is terrible. I wouldn't blame anyone for feeling this way, but I loved it! Unique to say the least!
I almost couldn't finish watching this. I didn't find it overly humorous. It was okay but I would not recommend it & would not watch it again.
I like the crouching under the wall bit
My introduction to Miranda July was Me, You, and Everyone We Know. I have followed her movies ever since. Unfortunately, for me, the last two, the Future and Kajillionaire, while still containing July's amazing take on everything and wonderful quirkiness, seem to deal with despicable characters and depressing circumstances. Me, You and Everyone We Know, had joy, beautiful people with relatable lives, and left me with a sense of overall happiness, while the last two movies just have too many vapid characters and a take on humanity that feels more like she is viewing humanity as this pile of crap that hardly anything can be derived from. Where is the joy and beauty she began with? Gone. People and humanity are better than she seems to mirror in her last two movies. which makes both of them disappointments to me.
This film is one of those that generate polarized reactions. It gives the impression that nothing is happening and it is not picking up speed even with a rocket, and as a comedy it is not what one would suppose. However, the performances do just enough so that the walk is not a waste.
Basically(?) a quirky story about recognizing manipulative figures in your life and gaining independence from them with the help of a stranger's perspective & affection (and an earthquake lol), that only really dips its toes into the darker implications of a child with such awful parents. And I'm not that against the lack of deep and dark exploration, because the film aspires to be uplifting moreso than real - there were only two bits that were a bit too surreal/absurd/out-of-left-field for me. I otherwise enjoyed everything else. I'm confused about most of the reviews here, although I may also have had gripes with the pacing if not for the chemistry between the two leads.
A meloncholy movie about self discovery that at times gets bogged down with it's slow pacing. The highlight though is the performance of Richard Jenkins as the neurotic head of the family.
