The film captures her moment-by-moment emotional transformation over the course of three tumultuous days that leave her future in doubt. With microscopic focus, through the searching lens of cinematographer Sean Price Williams, the movie explores the period in one's life when the only constant is motion. As Kati says, "What happened...happened." -- (C)Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Something universal and touching emerges about youth and hope, particularly in the clips of a shyly smiling child Kati, and in the intense, passionate love that teen Kati holds for James.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
"Kati With an I" transforms one teenager's particular story into a moving portrait of Anygirl, U.S.A.
-
David Fear, Time Out New York
Robert Greene's documentary captures so many wonderfully delicate, private moments in Kati's life that it seems churlish to wish the film said more about what it's actually like to be a young woman today.
-
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Greene may intend Kati's story as a quiet tragedy, but the native feeling of that's-just-the-way-it-is lethargy ("Only in Alabama can you be a home-school drop-out") is rather convincing.

Robert Koehler, Variety
Sensitive if somewhat messy.
