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…

[The filmmakers] capture fear of the unknown, through the allegory of super-powered people, more succinctly and effectively than most of the "X-Men" franchise ever could. September 16, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Freaks takes Marvelesque mutants and puts them in an environment akin to Shyamalan's shaky supernatural joint Signs (2002). Although it contains all the right elements Freaks struggles to break new ground. September 13, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a paranoid little picture, using its influences wisely while manufacturing something distinctive: one of the best Sci-fi's of the year. September 13, 2019 | Full Review…

Freaks isn't perfect but at least when it does stumble --which is not too often -- it is happily out of ambition rather than laziness. September 13, 2019 | Full Review…
