King Car is most enjoyable when its creators are developing their movie's world and not its story.

Rated: 3/4

Austin Chronicle

King Car has moxie and its heart is in the right place, even if it feels like dialectic materialism for motorheads.

Slant Magazine

Renata Pinheiro's film boasts the pleasures of shlock while sacrificing none of its philosophical rigor.

Rated: 3/4

Pinheiro's work here is exceptional, from the framing to the dramatic choreography, to her wonderful command of her performers, King Car is the kind of big swing that is often relegated to the early part of a filmmaker's career.

King Car is a fascinating, eccentric, and bold piece of Brazilian cinema.

Rated: 3.5/5

It has designs on meaning well and on being weird but weirdly pulls too many of its punches with dialectal motor jargon.

Rated: C+
