Kate Muir Times (UK) We Are the Freaks is a teen movie that declares its intention upfront to subvert the genre and, unfortunately, fails. Dec 31, 2017 Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies This tame and tonally chaotic Brit coming-of-ager comes with added smug sense of humour. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2014 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) [We get] the nagging feeling that the film-makers, like their protagonists, aren't at all sure where they are going or why. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2014 Full Review Rich Cline Contactmusic.com This offbeat British drama shows real promise for new filmmaker Justin Edgar, although his relentlessly gimmicky filmmaking style is so attention-grabbing that it makes it nearly impossible to engage with the story or characters. Rated: 3/5 Apr 27, 2014 Full Review Stefan Pape HeyUGuys Falling between a satirical social commentary and a full on teen comedy caper - Justin Edgar's We Are The Freaks is chaotic yet maintains a genial spirit and distinct watchability. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2014 Full Review Neil Smith Total Film Mohawked rich kid Chunks (Sean Teale) is alone in leaving an impression, though only by being the most obnoxious one. Rated: 2/5 Apr 21, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Some punk rockers fall and love and roam the streets doing... not much.. Not overly excited about this one. Strong cast, but shitty move. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Review: I really got tricked by the advert of this movie because it looked quite funny, but after watching it I was really disappointed. I thought that it was going to be about a group of friends that has a mad night out, but they're not even together that much through the movie. It's about the mad situations that each indvidual character finds themselves in after one night out. One of them ends up babysitting a girl that he fancies, brother. Another one ends up driving around with a girl who steals drugs and the last friend has some severe trouble with his penis. Not the best concept in the world. Anyway, the movie isn't that funny and I lost interst in the characters who I found dull after a while. The script is weak and the whole feel of the film is pretty cheap but on the plus side, it's really short. Disappointing!  Round-Up: I never heard of any of the character before so I can't really comment on there overall acting skills. I know that the leading character is quite annoying and the other characters wasn't anything special. The annoying music throughout the movie really got on my nerves and the narrating became tedious after a while. Maybe that is why I hadn't heard anything about the film and why I haven't seen any of these actors before. Anyway, it's not a movie that I will be watching again in a hurry or will I be recommending this to any of my close friends. I recommend this movie to people who are into there buddy movies about a group of friends, in The UK, who get up to mischief on a mad night out. 2/10 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
