Freak Show

This film main character is my favourite actor: ALEX LAWTHER ,This story is about a boy how to survive in their highschool. He love to dress up himself like a pretty girl.So have many people feel weird of his action and bully him with violence.But he is still considence and insist on being himself.In this story I learned that :Everyone chooses the way they lived ,we can't criticize and judge the other person life. We must give the respect for them.

I stumbled upon this little gem for Pride month. Alex Lawther of the end of the world stars as Billy Bloom a creative and talented young man who finds himself living with his father in a middle American town filled with homophobia. Regardless of what anyone thinks he stays true to himself. After a vicious attack he is saved by the school quarterback and a friendship begins. The boy, Flip is played by the adorable Ian Nelson of the boy next door, tries to help him fit in better but he's commited to being his genuine self. Diva Bette Midler (Beaches) stars as his mother and Abigail Breslin (Zombieland), Anna Sophia Robb (Bridge to Terebithia), Celia Watson (Invasion) and Willa Fitzgerald (MTV's Scream) also star. It's a fun, emotional coming of age flick that's not perfect but is definitely worth a watch.

7.25/10

I really enjoyed this. I thought it was adapted very well but there were some moments from the book that were excluded from the film which was disappointing. I also thought the casting choice for Lynette wasn't very good but Alex Lawther did an excellent job as Billy.

This must be adapted into a stage musical. The characters and the situations cry out for musical numbers. And the young demographics are perfect for this material. We have "Mean Girls" and "Kinky Boots" why not this one...It's just so obvious!!!

Cute, fun, movie about being who you truly are. It didn't blow my socks off, but it had some good messages about being independent and brave. Some cliché moments but also some heartfelt ones. And Bette Midler is always fun to see.
