      Perri Nemiroff Shockya.com A fascinating combination of science and romance, and particularly when the balance is in the romance's favor. Rated: 2.5/5 May 28, 2014 Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound at once a star-crossed romance, an allegory of (class) discord and (musical) harmony, and a theological investigation into nature and nurture, free will and determinism. It's out there, alright - and there's nothing else out there quite like it. May 26, 2014 Full Review Daniel M. Gold New York Times While the detached, deadpan tone and occasionally stilted acting might leave some viewers flat, there's no doubting the fierce intelligence behind this admirable puzzle box of a movie. May 22, 2014 Full Review Meredith Borders Birth.Movies.Death. Fisher creates a fully-realized new world in FREQUENCIES, and he does it with words and concepts instead of computer graphics and creatures. May 28, 2014 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher A film to warm the cockles of your geeky heart, an incredibly ambitious and profoundly provocative science fiction drama about ideas that require no FX to sell them. May 24, 2014 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Equally provocative and captivating. It has more imagination and intelligence than all of the Hollywood films in recent memory combined. Rated: 9.001/10 May 23, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      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 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 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Sonya W Interesting movie, I enjoyed the actors, the ending was a bit of a bummer to me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/23 Full Review Mikey P Frequencies explores that intangible connection between winners and losers and the possibility that one can't exist without the other. 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute love story, low budget but intriguing and well acted Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
