Six short stories involving distressed people.
Imagine all of D-Fens’ fury in Falling Down squeezed into one short, then times it by six. A gloriously crazed compendium that fizzes with OMG and OTT moments.
Broad strokes, dexterously delivered.
A delicious chocolate box of nastiness.
Damián Szifron presents six anarchic tales of the unexpected.
Verdict: Stories with a dark twist.
They’re entertaining to watch precisely because each elaborately constructed scenario reveals how frequently we’re our own worst enemy.
A series of six, twenty minute vignettes, it depicts life’s disappointments with a eye that is provocative and comically black. It bridges the fine gap between morbidity and comedy that many films fall into with near faultless execution.
An enjoyable collection of stories of middle-class meltdown.
Wild Tales is an unmissable satire of society on the edge--six absolutely wonderful slices of justice, gripping from start to finish...a crowd-pleaser with brains and cojones.
