Mick LaSalle

The movie rarely, if ever, feels mechanical. Instead, you may find yourself marveling at the fertility of an imagination that could allow itself to toss so many vivid characters and stories—enough to supply four or five movies — into one generous package. Read full review

Wild Tales represents the work of an exceedingly skillful storyteller. Read full review

Wild Tales rockets along with sleek, amoral charm and a masterful sense of cinematic storytelling; it’s worth noting that one of the producers is Spain’s Pedro Almodóvar. Read full review

It's crisply and cleanly shot throughout, and the filmmaker shows a rare feel for how to not only make comedy land, but also to make it actually feel cinematic too. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

The infectious dark comedy Wild Tales (Relatos salvajes) argues that payback is more satisfying when it’s doled out in fiery, bloody and outrageous doses. Read full review

Damián Szifron’s Wild Tales almost feels too audacious, too crazy, and, in some ways, too slight for the Oscars. Read full review

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but Argentine writer-director Damián Szifron allows it to sit until it congeals in the dreary six-part anthology Wild Tales. Read full review

This movie is hilarious in a very dark way about extreme human behavior! It's hard to say which story showed the worst in people, but they all had a grain of truth.

Embora as histórias de “Contos Selvagens” sejam engenhocas habilidosas, Szifron tem o cuidado de fundamentar as mudanças extremas de cada conto em detalhes específicos do personagem.

O filme raramente, ou nunca, parece mecânico. Em vez disso, você pode se surpreender com a fertilidade de uma imaginação que poderia se permitir lançar tantos personagens e histórias vivas - o suficiente para fornecer quatro ou cinco filmes - em um pacote generoso.… Expand

This is a seriously brilliant movie. Several characters throughout become unhinged in the most logical and entertaining ways. Its a movie with highly intelligent people acting in purely emotional ways and everything just feels right. Major kudos to the director for pulling this off.

A wonderfully madcap, perverse, and riotous movie. We saw it just after the Plane crash in the alps so the opening story didn't work well. Too much like DejaVu. After that though it kept up a brisk pace, and each story was completely different, ending with one that went on a tad too long. ItA wonderfully madcap, perverse, and riotous movie.

It reminded me of a much more gritty version of "Kind Hearts and Coronets," with it's droll look at revenge.… Expand

A film made in Argentina , which is six short stories of six people that their lives are linked of madness and anger of the situation presented to them, and ultimately end in death, but it ends up being interesting with each account shown in this hilarious and interesting movie.
