I walked in on the middle of this film, but it was very cool to watch this movie! I din't think the people were shallow, I just felt there needed to be more explained in the story, because some parts didn't make sense.As far as sexual scenes I walked in on the part before Bilal jumps into the lake and before Bea insists there father has forgotten about them and from there on I saw no-sexual themes(besides Bilal's bare bottom when he runs into the lake) I quite enjoyed this movie and did not find it boring. Despite the title it is not a very adult movie, the most violence I saw was a vase being thrown, and she threw the F-bomb around casually a couple of times. Overall I found this movie to be very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend it.

Any movie that Kate W appears in, is a movie I want to watch. I just adore watching her face....Kate is a Hollywood superstar, yet she comes across as "real".But anyway. I really did enjoy this movie. Life is a search for something and it was fascinating to watch a young woman go to such lengths to find her truth. Her kids gained much from being "dragged" along, but who in their right mind would risk putting their children in such potential harms way?I've traveled a lot and there is nothing as exciting as being in an exotic place, in a strange culture - the hint of danger and then the exhilaration when you make it out. Watching this move resonated.Morocco was indeed portrayed as a fascinating, beautiful place to visit. I'd wonder these days would it be as welcoming as this movie suggests. Wouldn't it be wonderful to find out? The part where she lost her daughter brought back the time we thought our young daughter had caught malaria in India. Thankfully she hadn't as we discovered after a trip to a hospital in Hong Kong (an experience in itself). We brought our kids to India to teach them something extra about what it really means to be human on this earth. However what a horrible feeling it was when we thought it was at the expense of their health. We got away with it and learned our lesson.I loved this movie, - the kids acting was superb, Kate was a joy to watch as usual, the location was stunning and the soundtrack makes me want to go out a buy the CD.

This is simply a beautiful film, breathtakingly shot, with wonderful acting especially so by Carrie Mullan. Of the two girls who play the daughters of Kate Winslet, she rightly so has the (even if only slightly so) bigger acting part. Refreshingly free of a rigorous story line, you can just enjoy the atmosphere and exquisite photography. And, of course the actors. Winslet is her usual self, solid acting, and she's apparently not afraid to show herself in a less than perfect physical appearance, against the Standard-Issued-Hollywood-Bodies culture. A leeettle chubby, she's the perfect reflection of Greek sculpture. Mullan's mimic is very grown-up, Riza is good, though at times her inexperience shines through and Taghmaoui is quite sympathetic. The nudity in this film should not be considered daring in this day and age, and is thus true to the film's era. The makers obviously thought something like: 'Shove it, if this arouses or excites you, there's something very wrong with you' and i salute them for it.8/10 The Melancholic Alcoholic.

Ah yes HIDEOUS KINKY that`s the one with Kate Winslet getting abducted by a cult and Harvey Keitel races to save the day . I was slightly confused as to why Keitel`s name didn`t appear in the credits but this is for the simple reason that I had got this movie mixed up with HOLY SMOKE . I won`t bother to apologise , it`s an easy mistake to make Actually I would have enjoyed Harvey Keitel turning up in this film blowing away a few bad guys because this would have given HIDEOUS KINKY some male appeal since this is a dreary chick flick about nothing much of interest . Julia is a single mother who takes her two young daughters to Morocco , so there you go that`s the plot summed up .Anymore comments ? Not much except to say I thought Julia was one helluva poor role model for mothers everywhere . She doesn`t mind letting her daughters see her rolling around in bed with a man she`s just met , or letting them live in some drug fuelled doss house full of hash heads . In truth women like Julia should be barred from having children
And film makers should be banned from making low concept feature films like HIDEOUS KINKY unless they feature Harvey Keitel blowing away bad guys
