Movie Cosmos - Freaky Tales

Description:

In 1987 Oakland, a mysterious force guides The Town's underdogs in four interconnected tales: teen punks defend their turf against Nazi skinheads, a rap duo battles for hip-hop immortality, a weary henchman gets a shot at redemption, and an NBA All-Star settles the score.

Reviews:

Manuel São Bento (7/10)

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/freaky-tales-review-a-wild-genre-blending-tribute-to-80s-filmmaking/

"Freaky Tales delivers exactly what it sets out to: a hyper-stylized, adrenaline-fueled spectacle bursting with energy and '80s cinema tributes, without any grand thematic pretensions.

While its narrative lacks cohesion and more substantial development of its themes and characters, it more than makes up for it with its frenetic pace, distinctive visuals, and pure entertainment value that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish.

With charismatic performances, an electrifying soundtrack, and an utterly chaotic finale, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck present a film that, while not for everyone, will undoubtedly find its audience among genre cinema and nostalgia fans."
