This visceral and anxiety-laden vision ends on an uneasy, though hopeful, note. Read full review

Even though there’s nothing we haven’t seen before in this movie, she and Some Freaks remind us not just of the cruelties of the teen years, the insecurities and secret shame, but of how young we are when we figure out that it’s all just perception. Read full review

All the actors are good, but Harrington is remarkable. It’s not just the physical changes in her character, but the genuineness with which she inhabits her. Read full review

An affecting debut for anyone who has dwelled on the far outskirts of adolescent social life, Ian MacAllister McDonald's Some Freaks captures high school/college agony without transmuting it into thank-God-we-survived-it nostalgia. Read full review

All the performances are very nicely turned in a movie that deliberately excludes any significant adult presence in order to immerse us fully in an adolescent world. Read full review

Some Freaks is another teenage melodrama that explores issues that seem fresh on the surface level, but are rotted at their roots. A tonal shift in the middle of the film may throw audiences off, resulting in a film that’s two pieces from completely different puzzles. Overall, Some Freaks is a fresh take on the teen romantic drama. Ian MacAllister McDonald fits a great deal into an hour and a half, which is quite impressive. Some Freaks is a strong directorial debut that makes McDonald a director to watch.… Expand
