Billed
as
one
of
the
buzziest
films
on
this
year’s
Sundance
slate,
Freaky
Tales
(named
after
the
classic
Too
Short
hit)
tells
four
interconnected
stories
bursting
with
bonkers
twists
that
unfold
during
one
day
in
’80s
Oakland.

So
far,
it’s
Sundance’s
movie-of-the-moment
that
The
Hollywood
Reporter
seemed
to
really
enjoy
based
on
its
review.
Check
out
an
excerpt
below:
“The
performances
are
fully
on
board
with
the
gonzo
spirit
right
down
the
line.
Alongside
Ellis
and
Pascal,
whose
gift
for
combining
soulfulness
with
tough-guy
grit
is
expertly
deployed,
special
mention
needs
to
be
made
of
the
comic
energy
of
Thorne
and
Normani,
and
of
the
malevolently
humorous
presence
of
Ben
Mendelsohn.
After
bringing
such
depth
of
feeling
to
his
work
with
Boden
and
Fleck
in
Mississippi
Grind,
the
actor
is
riveting
here
as
a
corrupt
cop
who
makes
most
other
corrupt
movie
cops
look
like
amateurs.
The
late
Euphoria
star
Angus
Cloud,
who
died
tragically
last
summer,
also
turns
up
in
amusing
form
as
a
criminal
stooge,
one
of
his
final
roles.”
Directed
by
Anna
Bolden
and
Ryan
Fleck
(Captain
Marvel),
the
genre-bending
film
stars
Pedro
Pascal,
Jay
Ellis,
Angus
Cloud
(in
his
final
role),
Ben
Mendelsohn,
Dominique
Thorne,
Normani
(in
her
feature
film
debut),
Too
$hort,
and
more.

In
an
interview
with
DEADLINE,
Normani
teased
what
fans
should
expect
from
her
character
(Entice)
who’s
one
half
of
a
Rap
duo
with
her
BFF
Barbie
(Thorne)
in
the
film.
According
to
reports,
the
talented
duo
faces
off
against
TOO
SHORT
during
an
epic
battle
while
pursuing
Rap
stardom.
Whew,
now
THAT’s
cinema.
