Critics Consensus

Wickedly hilarious and delightfully deranged, Wild Tales is a subversive satire that doubles as a uniformly entertaining anthology film.

Dwight Brown

National Newspaper Publishers Association

It's rare that a casting director's genius is so obvious, but Javier Braier pulls together a huge, disparate cast that is dopey, baiting, mean or gloriously evil at the right times.

It's an explosively funny film, made with great energy.

While the stories themselves are about the joys of losing control, their creator knows exactly what can be achieved with crafty pacing, masterly editing and a precisely controlled balance between the matter-of-fact and the shamelessly hysterical.

Rated: 4.5/5

[Filmmaker Damián] Szifrón is all about emotion over reason. He just doesn’t find much to celebrate about passions unleashed. He does, however, find a mordant humor in it all, and he has the wit to pull it off.

Deep Focus Review

Not every story will resonate, and the overall theme doesn't leave one with a sense of their combined profundity, but three or four stories are bound to feel familiar and thus deliciously watchable.

Rated: 3/4

I liked the 1st short film before the opening credits. The others were just ok. I'd never want to watch this again. 94%??

"Wild Tales" is a rollercoaster of emotions neatly packaged into an anthology format. While not every story hits the bullseye, there's an undeniable charm in its unevenness. Some segments are nothing short of incredible, delivering darkly comic punches that will leave you in stitches. Others, unfortunately, miss the mark, feeling more like exaggerated caricatures than relatable characters. The standout feature here is the acting; it's consistently excellent. The cast breathes life into these eccentric tales, making even the most absurd situations feel oddly believable. Director Damián Szifron's craftsmanship is evident in each story, showcasing a keen eye for storytelling. This film is a mixed bag, but sometimes that's part of the fun. If you appreciate dark humor, stellar performances, and don't mind a few missteps along the way, "Wild Tales" is a wild ride worth taking. It's well-made, with a unique anthology structure that keeps you engaged throughout.

"Wild Tales" is a crazy ride that subverts expectations at every turn. I really liked how creative and original this film was. It is a series of short stories that are all ridiculous but completely captivating. I think with sort of anthology format it is inevitable that I will like some short stories more than others, but I think all of them are at least good. I think the movie has an interesting worldview of what people can do under duress or when they are having a really bad day. Overall, it's a movie that is at times darkly hilarious and almost consistently kept me completely clueless about what direction it would go next, which made it a lot of fun to watch.

Muito Bom, 6 histórias de vinganças peculiares e frenética, a história do avião (que me trouxe a esse filme, num rells), a garçonete, a disputa na estrada (ótimo e irônico desfecho), a revolta contra o sistema e a burocracia por um cidadão comum enraivecido, muito bom também, a da festa de casamento foi uma das melhores, apesar do desfecho repugnante, porém irônico e realista ao mesmo tempo... "A vingança nunca é plena, mata a alma e envenena..."
