Ricky Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The story begins in gritty realism, ends in pure fantasy and leaves out most of the alphabet as it makes its way from A to Z.
Filmcritic.com
Norm Schrager
a symbol-filled observation on, well, just about everything.
New York Press
Armond White
In Ozon's distinctively eccentric style, Ricky applies modern skepticism to the prospect of parthenogenesis (based on an American short story by Rose Tremain), then deepens the concept.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Refreshingly unpredictable, imaginative, funny and provocative, but it eventually becomes a bit uneven, awkward and lacks emotional resonance.
About.com
Marcy Dermansky
Ozon's Ricky contains moments of real grit, but also contains a dose of otherworldly magic that only movies can provide.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Ricky, the first of two Ozon films to debut this year, marks a return to his busy-bee ways, not least because it feels like two disparate movies joined at the hip.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
What Ricky lacks is a more thorough, consistent examination of maternal bonds.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Ricky's quicksilver changes of mood and genre make for an engaging puzzle, but its last notes of transcendence seem insufficiently earned.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The first half is wholly successful, the second one is flawed... and the movement from one part to the other is handled with all the grace of a dachshund on wet ice.

Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
Because Ozon doesn't develop his characters once Ricky shows his true nature, the movie's slightly overcooked working-class realism quickly morphs into a grotesque story of a mutant baby. The film's two halves feel almost mutually exclusive.
