Some Call Them ... Freaks is a curious documentary that dives into the lives of those considered different by society. The tone is raw, almost intimate, capturing the everyday realities of its subjects with a sense of respect. I found the pacing a bit uneven, but it mirrors the unpredictability of the lives depicted. There’s no flashy editing—just a straightforward presentation that invites empathy. The practical effects are non-existent, as this film leans on its real subjects to provide the impact. The performances? They’re unfiltered, showcasing raw emotion and humanity. It’s distinctive in how it challenges societal norms and perceptions, presenting 'freaks' as real people with stories rather than mere curiosities.
