	AboutFilm.Com - Hideous Kinky (1999)
		The expression "hideous kinky" is the result of a word game played by the children in the movie, and one can only imagine that it is meant to evoke an image of something simultaneously frightening and intriguing.
		Hideous Kinky is set in the early 1970s, when, of course, everybody was yearning for spiritual fulfillment—and smoking pot, and taking risks, and rejecting materialism, and so on, and so forth.
		This is unfortunate, given that Hideous Kinky is about a numinous quest, the exploration of an exotic culture, and the relationship between an unconventional mother and her daughters.

	Hideous Kinky
		Hideous Kinky (1999) was once characterized by Junior as "mega-boring," and Scoop, as I recall, was not very impressed either.
		Hideous Kinky is not a novel about a journey through an exotic country as seen through an innocent's eyes, but about that innocent's slowly coming to grips with the realization that she had a deeply embarrassing mother, and a distant father.
		By the way, the title Hideous Kinky has nothing to do with the book or the movie, other than that it is the name of a nonsense word game the two girls play.

	HIDEOUS KINKY/ *** (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		"Hideous Kinky" takes place in Morocco in 1972, where Julia (Kate Winslet), a twentysomething from London, is single-handedly raising her two young daughters Bea (Bella Riza) and Lucy (Carrie Mullan).
		I can't for the life of me remember the name of one, but they played on television all the time when I was growing up, and "Hideous Kinky" evokes their flavour, as well as containing multitudes of more obvious period detail, in the costumes and the sets.
		"Hideous Kinky" may only deserve to be remembered because it's the first film to be financed with National Lottery arts funding, and the one on which Winslet met husband Jim Threapleton, but it deserves to be seen because it works.

		Less successful was Regeneration, his attempt to come to grips with the broken ideals of the generation lost to World War I. He's back in form with the unfortunately titled Hideous Kinky, a tale of the search for truth and happiness and related illusions and untidiness set in the post-Crosby-Stills-and-Nash wonderland of Marrakesh in 1972.
		His tears on their departure are one of Kinky's unexpected emotional epiphanies.
		Hideous Kinky recovers that fragile state of mind and vindicates its innocence.

	Hideous Kinky
		Her latest, HIDEOUS KINKY, is an exotic odyssey that is much more than a star vehicle.
		HIDEOUS KINKY is not a plot driven movie, but it tells the tale of a hippie named Julia(Kate Winslet) who has brought her two young girls(Bella Riza and Carrie Mullan) to Morocco to find peace, love, and faith in the early 70's.
		HIDEOUS KINKY reminded me a little of this year's A WALK ON THE MOON, because both are similar tales of a woman trying to find herself during the same time period.

	The Audio Revolution Review of 'Hideous Kinky'
		'Hideous Kinky' takes its title from an expression that roughly approximates "Awesome!" The slang is used by two English girls, eight-year-old Bea (Bella Riza) and six-year-old Lucy (Carrie Mullan), who are living with their upper-class but impoverished young mom Julia (Kate Winslet) in 1972 Morocco.
		The tone of 'Hideous Kinky' is reminiscent of those shaggy, quizzical hippy movies in the '70s that starred the likes of Barbara Hershey and Kris Kristofferson, retold with a slightly more cerebral outlook.
		In 'Hideous Kinky,' Winslet expands on this, letting us experience Julia as an original soul as well as a rebellious one.

	Nick's Flick Picks: The Blog: Screening: Hideous Kinky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The distinguishing achievement of Hideous Kinky is that, compared to several movies about young sojourners—especially when those sojourners are women, and even more especially when they are mothers—this film does not exist to judge Julia.
		Neither an endorsement of her free spirit nor a condemnation of her behavior, Hideous Kinky manages to represent the texture, risks, and pleasures of this lifestyle without much editorializing, and the characterizations of everyone involved, including the young daughters, is pretty compelling.
		Though several shots imply that Hideous Kinky is a sort of dream-record of the characters' experiences—and that the archetypal exoticism of certain Arabic places, people, and spectacles might thus be taken as character points rather than simple weaknesses of the film—it's still a little distancing.

	"Hideous Kinky"
		NetCafeLive presents author Esther Freud who discusses her novel, "Hideous Kinky." Inspired by the author's memories of life in Morocco, Freud talks about unraveling the plot in the hippie-chic 60's and the reasons for choosing the suggestive "Hideous Kinky" as the title of her book.
		Today's guest is Esther Freud, here to talk about her new book, "Hideous Kinky." This novel is about life in the 60's for two young girls - the story of a small girl's travels with her mother and older sister through Europe and North Africa with their mother's boyfriend and his wife.
		The words Hideous and Kinky had a kind of risqué ring to them that we delighted in.

	Hideous Kinky - Starring Kate Winslet & Saïd Taghmaoui
		HIDEOUS KINKY is the intimate odyssey of Julia (Kate Winslet) and her daughters Lucy (Carrie Mullan) and Bea (Bella Riza), who have left the grey routine of London for the colorful promises of Morocco.
		HIDEOUS KINKY is a sonnet to an exotic culture, a love story between people of different worlds, and a paean to a mother's quest to gift her children with the courage of dreams.
		During the filming of Hideous Kinky, star Kate Winslet would remark on the director's subtly evocative style: "He's calm and patient and, although he knows exactly what he wants, he has the confidence to give actors the space to work in, and encourages you to try different ideas.

	Amazon.com: Hideous Kinky: Books: Esther Freud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Hideous Kinky begins as a small, cheerful autobiographical novel following Thurber's variation on Wordsworth: "Humor is emotional chaos recollected in tranquillity." In the mid-1960s, two girls, ages 5 and 7, travel with their mother from London to Marrakech.
		Bea raised an eyebrow as she passed me. 'Hideous kinky,' she whispered." Esther Freud's vocabulary and tone veer easily from the childlike to the more sophisticated, particularly when she recounts speech or circumstances beyond a child's comprehension.
		In the end, Hideous Kinky is a novel less about an exotic country seen through an innocent's eyes than about family, about having a deeply embarrassing mother, an older sister who does everything before you, and a distant father.

		Plot Synopsis: Hideous Kinky is the story of two sisters (seven and five years old) traveling with their hippie mother from London to Morocco in the late 60's.
		Mostly set in the colorful and exotic local of central Marrakesh, Hideous Kinky is a feast of images, sound, and color - and a good depiction of the ethos of those oh so confusing years.
		Hideous Kinky is a nice film not trying to be a great British epic.

		ideous Kinky," Gillies MacKinnon's film about a single mother (Kate Winslet) and her identity-seeking trip to Morocco in the drug-hazy days of the early 1970s, trudges along an all-too-familiar path: the soul-finding trip to an exotic locale.
		"Hideous Kinky" skims from episode to episode, leaving out great chunks of exposition that could have enlightened us.
		You'd have to read the book, for instance, to know the phrase "hideous kinky" is simply a code phrase between the sisters to mean almost anything they want it to.

		The young mother of two in the recent A Walk on the Moon followed the secret leading of her hippie-chick heart only as far as the nearby Woodstock festival in 1969 before reluctantly returning to the safety of home and hearth.
		Julia (Kate Winslet), a married-too-early single mom cast off by her poet husband, in "Hideous Kinky" takes a decidedly larger risk than her American counterpart, abandoning London in 1972 and dragging two daughters along on a spiritual quest to exotic, often frightening Morocco.
		Too bad he couldn't work a similar miracle for "Hideous Kinky," which makes an intriguing start before taking a wearying path to a conclusion that might have been predicted from the first frame.

		I know you're asking yourself "what is 'Hideous Kinky' supposed to mean?" Honestly, I'm still asking myself that question after viewing this film.

		Winslet is Julia, leaving cold London and a negligent poet husband behind to seek enlightenment in 1972 Morocco for herself and two daughters, Lucy, 6 (Carrie Mullan) and Bea, 8 (Bella Riza).
		"Hideous Kinky" is so much more than travelogue, and its daunting intelligence and effervescent sense of time and place are rare treasures.
		The lush tapestry of "Hideous Kinky" doesn't shout its themes or morals, and while some reviewers have complained of Julia not being sufficiently judged, it seems less a reflection of the movie than themselves.

		In "Hideous Kinky," his film of the Esther Freud novel, director Gillies MacKinnon goes for something like an open-ended approach to the picaresque material.
		An open-ended style is suited to the story of Julia (Kate Winslet), an English hippie mother who takes her two young daughters to Morocco looking for a better life than the one they've left behind in London, but who doesn't give much thought to practicalities.
		And even though the movie is a mess, Winslet's choosing "Hideous Kinky" as the follow-up to "Titanic" turns out to be a canny choice, a conscious decision to scrape off the faux glamour of James Cameron's mega-production (even though she was just about the only believably human thing in it).

	Hideous Kinky by Esther Freud
		It is a gentle one: in fact, it may be only in the reader's mind - Hideous Kinky is a first novel, straight and unexperimental.
		The wordplay throughout the text is subtle and tactile, but it is rarely turned up to the pitch that those two twisted words suggest.
		Hideous Kinky's sense of place and its calmly eccentric characters are enough to hold the book together, but only just: at times, it seems the writer is afraid of getting the reader lost in a world that's merely colorful.

		A remarkable debut novel from one of England's finest young writers, Hideous Kinky follows two little English girls as they struggle to establish some semblance of normal life on a journey with their mum through Europe and North Africa in the mid-1960s.
		Once in Marrakech, Mum immerses herself in Sufism and her quest for personal fulfillment, while the daughters rebel -- one by attempting to recreate her English life, the other by, turning her hopes for a father on a most unlikely candidate.
		Seen through the youngest girl's eyes, events take on increasingly alarming dimensions, making Hideous Kinky as suspenseful as it is endearing.

		Far better than the more narcissistic A Walk on the Moon, Hideous Kinky tangentially approaches the same subject: self-fulfillment, '60s style.
		Kate Winslet, making a luminous return to acting after Titanic, plays a woman, abandoned by her philandering poet husband, who travels to Marrakech in search of Sufi enlightenment and "the annihilation of the ego." There's only one catch—she has two pre-teen daughters with her.
		Hideous Kinky keeps its protagonist's quest in balance, showing that in pursuing her own enlightenment, she cannot help but neglect her children—that spirituality is also selfishness.

		One person's problem, however, is another person's entertainment, and Hideous Kinky -- which, by the way, is neither hideous nor kinky -- is entertaining in the extreme.
		But Hideous Kinky provides plenty of dramatic tension as well, especially when Julia embarks on a relationship with a marketplace acrobat (Said Taghmaoui) who proves to be a marvelous surrogate father, but a questionable provider with a questionable past.
		It's that focus on character that makes Hideous Kinky work, even when the camera rests too long on Julia watching her daughters with a vague mixture of delight, envy and dread, or when the soundtrack gets momentarily overtaken by some early '70s pop anthem.

		In “Hideous Kinky,” Julia, a 25-year-old woman on a quest for enlightenment, drags her children on a journey that takes them from London to Marrakech in 1972.
		While I don’t think she finds what she’s looking for — we’re never really sure what it is — her experiences become an understated meditation on the search for freedom in a world that seems determined to tie us down.
		“Hideous Kinky” is all of those things, but more than the meaning of the title has gone missing: the movie lacks a cohesive or compelling story.
