Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Kika is actually one of this film maker's more buoyant recent efforts, a sly, rambunctious satire that moves along merrily until it collapses -- as many Almodovar films finally do -- under the weight of its own clutter.
– Janet Maslin,

fresh:
It doesn't matter that Kika doesn't make sense -- doesn't even try to make sense. It's just so much fun to watch.
– Joe Brown,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Something alarming has happened to Almodovar: He has become commonplace and predictable.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Almodovar's central parody is strong enough to save this film from floundering too much or too often. It's daring and nasty, but rarely brilliant.
