Criticism

While she is popular as a teenage fashion model, Chiu has received harsh criticism as an actress and as an artist. Many express that her cute appeal fails to shield her otherwise poor and wooden acting performance, especially in her debut movie First Day High, a film panned by critics and moviegoers.

In an article published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Nestor Torre criticized Chiu's performance in First Day High, saying "She has a hard time enunciating her lines. She’s too raw and untrained a performer to realize that acting is communication, so clarity of diction and utterance is of prime importance. In a number of scenes, we wince as we listen to Kim struggling to make herself understood, and failing much of the time."
