Claudio Santamaria, Giancarlo Martini, Pietro Castellitto, and Aurora Giovinazzo in Freaks Out (2021)

Matilde, Cencio, Fulvio and Mario are family when the 2nd world war hits Rome. Israel, the owner of their circus, disappears in the attempt to find a getaway overseas for them all. The four friends are in disarray. Without anyone looking after them but above all, without the circus, they lose their social placement and they feel only as sideshow attractions on the loose in a city at war.

Amazing Movie!

This was an amazing movie. Great acting, scenery, special effects, comedy as well as drama, and one of the best war fighting scenes I've seen for a while in the last 25 mins. Awesome!

Well made for that budget

What Mainetti was aiming to do was probably a bit too ambitious for the budget of the movie, you can see that mainly in the vfx, however the movie is able to appear realistic, thanks to the folk substrate of the characters and locations. A note of credit goes to Aurora Giovinazzo, who plays Matilde, for her great performance, surely a good discovery for the italian cinema. Indeed a really well made movie for the italian and european scene, which can aspire to be seen overseas.

Circus Hero

WWII is the backdrop for Matilde and her 3 friends that all have special abilities. It's parts Greatest Showman, Xmen, and Schindler's List all in one - and somehow it works.

Circus freaks and Nazies

I watched without subs , and i still like it.

Its a mix bag of road adventure, occult nazi weirdo, circus freaks with some supernatural powers .

Ove of the best italian movie i seen in a long while.

Recommended.

Don't have to hide from Hollywood!

A really good movie that was a bit too long towards the end. 15 minutes less to the film not harmed. Above all, you have to mention the incredibly well-made special effects at this point! There was only one scene where the Uncanny Valley started. I could name dozens of new films, especially from Hollywood, which have a higher budget and worse effects. The whole topic around the Nazis is also fully covered from beginning to end, and I mean that in a positive and funny sense. The story itself is not insanely special, but manages to entertain. I give the film 7/10 stars and can recommend it well.
