Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Older audiences may be required to get back in touch with their adolescent appetites for garish decor.

fresh:
Kamikaze Girls, while being a silly, freewheeling, candy-colored lollapalooza, is also a heartfelt tale of friendship.

rotten:
Kamikaze Girls has a glazed, comic-book look and absurd tone that is initially enjoyable but proves wearing.

As exciting for its beautifully specific and honest portrayal of teenage girls and their friendships as it is for its dazzling visual and narrative style.

rotten:
For this viewer, the climactic scooter-gang rumble, heavy on plot twists and empowerment speeches, felt eternal, but for many, the happy silliness of the film's first half should carry the day.
