Radheshwari S I was surprised and glad to see a film that had truly something meaningful, and even urgent, to say. And it was said in a fascinating way that kept one's full attention from beginning to end. It gave one a satisfying sense of participation, though we were just watching this film and leaves one deeply touched. Wish there were more such movies. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review Xena S Interesting ideas, no luck in putting them together It has some interesting ideas, but their delivery lacks cohesion and step-by-step development, which in my view loses exactly the viewer it's meant to attract - the thinking, curious type. This is what we read in Wikipedia: "Zak discovers with Theo that sound waves, when combined with gibberish two-syllable words, are able to temporarily raise one's frequency. They create a cell phone device which, based on the environment, is able to determine which words can raise one's frequency." This is not what we see on the screen. We can just about figure out that the combination of sound waves and meaningless words can cause a fluctuation (we're still left to guess that the fluctuation means Zak's frequency is raised), but the creation of the cell phone device is left completely outside the narrative. We are expected to do the guess work every step of the way, but there's simply not enough material to arrive at determinant conclusions. And this is coming from a director who decided to resurrect the idea of scientific determinism, which had been buried at the turn of the 20th century. It totally makes sense that every human being should have a frequency, since every particle is also a wave (in itself not a deterministic concept), but the question what to make of it has not been answered with this effort.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A modern masterpiece Some films teach you so much about life, but Frequencies breaks the barrier, it's so thought provoking, it is so original and challenges the very fabric of life, I was confused for much of the film but everything came together at the conclusion!
