Disappointed

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.

Ian Freer

Empire Magazine

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

Rated: 4/5

Leah Greenblatt

Entertainment Weekly

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

Rated: B+

Katie Rife

AV Club

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.

Vague Visages

Wood somehow manipulates potential caricature into something fully alive.

KSQD Community Radio

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.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

There are few movies quite like Miranda July’s Kajillionaire. What begins as a movie about grifters and scam artists turns into one of the most achingly honest portrayals of loneliness ever made.
