Some Freaks (2016)

Some Freaks: Directed by Ian MacAllister McDonald. With Thomas Mann, Lily Mae Harrington, Ely Henry, Lachlan Buchanan. A charming romance develops between a boy with one eye and an overweight girl, though when she loses her weight after going to college, their relationship is tested in devastating ways they never dreamed would happen.

“Some Freaks is a love story between two people who are essentially outcasts in their environment. You will enjoy it if you are looking for something that is different from most mainstream romantic stories. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome people argued that being overweight or wearing an eyepatch does not make a person a freak and that the film presented the idea of that in a false way. The two main characters are not freaks because of their physical appearance but probably perceive themselves as ones in my opinion. It is hard to feel normal when your peers push you away and you keep hearing mean comments wherever you turn. The need to change and belong may become a necessity even if that means suppressing your personality and becoming like people you actually do not like. The characters are in that age where they care what other people have to say about them, they might pretend to be strong but everyone at that age cares, those who actually do not are rare and quite blessed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll of that was portrayed well in my opinion. It is true that there are some clichés present but it does not distort the message of the story which is the most important thing. Hats of to all the actors for doing a wonderful job as well. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDefinitely recommended if you are looking for a love story that feels a bit more real that most of them out there.”
