Common Sense Media

More than a documentary about a party, this is a powerful film about the different worlds inhabited by Black and White people in the United States, and how slow progress and equity continue to move.

Cinemalogue

Celebratory nostalgia seems to be the primary motivation behind this breezy documentary. It delivers on that level, without providing much deeper insight or perspective.

Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told is driven by nostalgia, but the sentiment takes different forms depending on the age and experience of who’s speaking.

This documentary really captured how the impact that hip hop had on the culture...I really enjoyed this and how it was able to explain how important these events were to the community.

While I was intrigued at first, 'Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told' didn’t share anything that would make me happy about learning about this event.

The hype was far greater than the doc itself. After 20 minutes, I found myself scrolling through Instagram. Definitely lost my attention! Sadly, this is what you play when you need the TV on to fall asleep.
