Some Freaks

All in all a good movie. I see very well the heavy points that are being made. It's just that in this film one character clearly outgrew another. And the cute attempt to gloss over that at the end was disappointing to me. But it clearly shows that they drew me into the movie for me to make that statement! Lily Mae Harrington was outstanding.

Small film that is done very well. The weight loss is amazing. I have watched three times . All three main actors give a good profitable. Lily also wrote a song for the movie.

That, actually, didn't feel embarrassing - which is no mean feat considering the genre. Films focused around adolescence have a tendency toward awkwardness. They also often have balancing issues; over-focusing one one aspect while missing another - thus failing to hit the relevant sweet spot.

Somehow MacAllister McDonald manages to avoid ALL the potholes set out before him and delivers a delicate and relevant study of the adolescent mindset. Without being pretentious Some Freaks lures in the viewers into the teen spirit and keeps them there until the credits start roll.

Casting and acting are also beneficial to the end result; exploring a rebellious period in a low key fashion. Thanks for that.

I like this movie very much,

For example, the movie really set their goal and they actually put something inside the movie that actually meant something. It's similar to a cause-effect type of thing.The characters knew their role and they played it very nice. This movie is just amazing!

The characters were not likable, which is in most cases okay, but it feels this wasn't executed properly because they were also very unbelievable, These are not the kindred and damaged souls you'll connect to, it just a bunch of kids being annoying jerks. Unlikeable characters are fine and can be wonderful when portrayed correctly, but in this case I never felt bad or concerned for either protagonist. Mostly because, one again, the characters weren't buyable. The characters in the film are akin to a general list of high school stereotypes.
