Festivale online magazine A Reel Life film section Hideous Kinky movie review

Hideous Kinky Based on the book by Esther Freud, a woman takes her two children to Morocco in the 1970s looking for a Sufi guru to instruct her in the annihilation of the ego. Hideous Kinky is one of those slice-of-life films that offers more to sociologists and future historians than to those simply seeking entertainment. Our heroine and her children live hand-to-mouth, neglected by their stay-at-home family. They do not try to return to Britain, but instead hook up with locals. Mum is looking for spiritual awakening, the children are looking for a dependable home.

	This is by no means a rollicking good time, nor is it spiritually enlightening. Our heroine's search for mystical truths doesn't enlighten the prosaic nature of the film. Ali Kayn For credits and official site details, click here. Search Festivale for more
