Wild Tales Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Momin Khan Wild Tales is dark, hilarious and completely independent set of stories which have only one thing in common: the main character has been wronged. How the character tackles their situation is completely unique and the writing manages to form unique characters for the story so that it feels as fleshed out as a regular movie. It's inventive, fresh and would be a shame to miss out on.
aspergian If you relish at the act of forming pretentious psychoanalytic symbology of simplistic random, occasionally cartoonish collections of "edgy" stories whose leading characters all meet some form of gratuitously violent and disturbing demise, this is the film for you. While there is something that tries to pass as dark/black humour in there at all the usual cues, it just wasn't funny. Personally, I found it all quite predictable, boring and a little sad. The sadness came about as a result of the total pointlessness of the film. However, based on all the exaggerated glowing reviews, I think that sort of cynical, snobby, postmodern, existential, angsty "edginess" is exactly the sort of thing that this film was aiming for.
hamidrezarafatnejad This episodic humble baby is a huge WOW! You can watch it again and again endlessly, because lets face it, it is the sculpture of our subconscious's projection, in its very naked form!
classicsoncall If you consider the word 'salvajes' in the Spanish language version of this title, "Relatos Salvajes", it closely resembles the word 'savage' in English, doesn't it? That's what came to my mind, as the six unconnected stories in this movie could just as well have been titled "Savage Tales". They are all positioned at some level for a savage outcome, and some of them are ironically hilarious in the execution, especially the wedding story between Romina and Ariel that closes things out.Another common element to be found in the offing is that familiar bugaboo about unintended consequences. The two tales of catastrophic road rage bear that theme out in cataclysmic fashion. The third story about the two drivers escalating into a violent confrontation ending in a fiery finale is so over the top that you wouldn't even consider the investigating sheriff's comment about a crime of passion. But it's there and lends a twisted component to the gruesome tale, one that will double you over with it's demented logic.The hit and run segment was another one of those unintended consequence stories that was visited in the end upon the hapless gardener who thought he was going to come out of it set for life. It's interesting to consider what might have happened to all the other parties involved after this story went black. All those scheming money grubbers were going to wind up with nothing in my interpretation, with their golden goose cooked. But I'm sure they would still try to squeeze Mauricio with his fat bank account. The unbridled greed in the story is enough to make you wince.And what can you say about the wedding story? The way it played out and the way it ended were so diametrically opposed to each other that you can only wind up shaking your head. But I guess that's what made it so viscerally entertaining. My summary quote is a line from the song that played out over the closing of that story, another fitting but ironic tribute to a masterful tale of love gone wrong and traveling full circle.This is the only film I've ever seen from the young Argentinian director Damian Szifron, but if his other output is even half as creative, he's got a huge future ahead. His credits page on IMDb points to primarily TV work, but if "Wild Tales" is any indication, we'll be seeing and hearing a lot more about him in the years to come.
