[T]he film shrewdly keeps us inside Chloe's head, filtered through her very limited comprehension of her burgeoning and truly awesome abilities. September 13, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Likewise, the movie seems restrained by its budget, which is unfortunate because the imagination it shows its promising. It's only in materially realizing itself where it falls short. September 12, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Its most effective trick, though, is to trap us all inside Chloe's head, presenting a child's-eye view of a world gone incomprehensibly mad. September 12, 2019 | Full Review…

Freaks is a compendium of movie love, as much as it is a movie. Its success rests on an astonishing performance by Lexy Kolker, who was seven when the film was shot. September 10, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It's a freak of a movie that grows busier than mysterious, and for this reason, will unlikely create a positive impact. February 11, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A film that has a heartfelt family story jam-packed with complex themes, wonderful performances and confident direction that makes the genre tropes feel new and exciting again. January 8, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

What fuels this film is the deftness of character development, calculated reveals, and relationship empathy that rarely comes together in a meaningful way like this in genre films. November 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Maybe these stories will seem tired if we ever find ourselves in a world where they're no longer thematically relevant. For now, I think there's value in all of them. Especially if they make an effort to find new ways to deliver them. October 4, 2019 | Full Review…

Freaks keeps you interested, but it never is completely coherent. Plot points are haphazardly strewn about to keep the narrative moving. The film doesn't earn many points for originality, but its low budget veneer is a draw. September 27, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
