4/5

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

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

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.

Insight wins out, though, and this is a bittersweet, surprisingly moving film about connection that feels particularly poignant now.

Wood somehow manipulates potential caricature into something fully alive.

Miranda July’s talent as a storyteller lies in her ability to walk the fine line between pathos and fanciful comedy, and Kajillionaire is arguably her strongest work yet.

Tells how the power of love can change a person's life when they grow up in an environment devoid of emotional nurturing.

I’m sad I have to give this film half a star and couldn’t pick 0. Slow moving. Not much plot. Waste of money and time.

It was slow and I say skip it. However on the upside, we were the only people in the theater.

Had internal humor to those that know what it is like to have toxic parents that show no compassion or love. Character of Mellony (Gina Rodriguez) was a welcomed pace to the film and brought hope to a dismal movie.
