Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Aug 16, 2017
1/4
Using his typical assortment of aggressive female characters, Almodovar spends more time on the fashions of his protagonists than on their souls. Go to Full Review
Janet Maslin New York Times May 20, 2003
3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Jan 1, 2000
3.5/5
A riot of colors, Kika is sometimes sick, sometimes playful, but consistently hilarious and entertaining in ways that few films have been lately. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jun 7, 2022
Kika demonstrates great security within Almodovar's style...pure fun. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Feb 25, 2022
2/4
Kika is not good for several reasons. For one, Almodovar tries to get too serious. Go to Full Review
Ruhaan Shah Film Companion Apr 29, 2020
While the film could potentially border on perverse, Almodóvar walks a tight rope making sure that the bawdy comedy is consciously never vile. Go to Full Review
