What to Know

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. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald It's an explosively funny film, made with great energy. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2015 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 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 May 20, 2015 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Not only does "Wild Tales" remains strong in people's minds but it also it anticipated certain actions and social behaviors that are today - unfortunately - part of Argentine daily life. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Benjamín Harguindey EscribiendoCine It offers pure escapism and some social criticism. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 9/10 Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [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. May 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Scott M These 6 dark humor stories didn't do much for me. But they weren't terrible. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 2 hours and 2 minutes!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language, Brief Sexuality and Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Spanish and English versions with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best of the Americas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Pablo S Ser argentino potencia el gusto por este plato que nos sirve Szifron, solamente uno siente que todo está bien del otro lado de la pantalla, no sobra ni falta nada. Para colmo están gigantes como Rita, Darin y Sbaraglia. De verdad que se pasan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Jay W I'm usually not a fan of anthology films. in general, it doesn't capitalize on the feature length film format. It might as well be 5 episodes of a TV show. But, when all the stories of the movie are this good, there isn't much to complain about. The stories are all escalations of simple events. The events could be, taking a flight, eating at a restaurant, cutting someone off in traffic or getting a parking ticket. The story then takes the emotions you feel in that experience to an extreme. What happens when you let your road rage go all the way? What happens if you actually did what you always wanted to do when your car gets towed? That setup, along with quality cinematography and a unique sense of humor, is enough for me to give this movie a high recommendation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Samitha B Except for the ridiculous story of the wedding, everything else is bearable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Jacob B As with most anthologies, “Wild Tales” has its high and low points. Overall though, this is a delightfully macabre collection of short stories. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
