Critics Sentiment
The four freaks perform at Israel's circus in wartime Rome
Matilde finds Israel on a truck heading to concentration camps
The film drops significantly during the Holocaust sequences around the 70-minute mark before recovering for the action-heavy finale.
Freaks Out starts strong with impressive circus visuals and production design that captivated reviewers. The film struggles in its middle section with questionable Holocaust elements and excessive violence, but recovers somewhat with solid action sequences and special effects in the final act, though many found it overlong and predictable.
