Critiques (1)
The title confuses the viewer referring to a horror classic, but Freak Show is actually a colourful drama about otherness and tolerance towards others, which not always happens. I found the main character very strange at first and found it hard to sympathise with him, but by the middle of the film this broke down and I was really rooting for Billy. AnnaSophia Robb was endearingly goofy, Abigail Breslin was again a convincing monster, and the icing on the cake was the diva Bette Midler. But the whole film stands on the performance of Alex Lawther, who clearly enjoyed his role immensely.
