  • Summary: Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Kamikaze Girls, where two girls from utterly different fashion universes -- one a "Lolita," the other a "Yankee" -- cross paths and discover they have far more in common than at first sight. Kamikaze Girls is the latest pop-culture phenomenon to take Japan by storm. It began as a best-selling novel, by cult writer Novala Takemoto, whose empathy with social outsiders and decadent fashion sense has helped cultivate a devoted following among young women. Takemoto’s book was adapted into a comic and then into this film. (Viz Media)… Expand

    A glorious blend of kitsch, grit, humor and uplift.

    It's the kind of rollicking rebel-chick flick that should score well in venues that appreciate Quentin Tarantino films.

    If you value plausibility in movies, skip Kamikaze Girls; this is the sort of picture where getting run over by a truck gives a character gorgeous hair instead of a broken hip.

    This movie is awesome! Some critics really have no idea how to review movies. The only people who shares their taste in movies are other movie critics!… Expand
