[Boasts] some of the most terrifying scenes ever consigned to film.

Browning's sympathies are clear; if there are "freaks" on display here, they are not the versatile performers to whom the title seems to allude.

RTTime OutJun 8, 2015

One of the most powerful films ever made about the need for humanity and solidarity in the face of cruelty and oppression.

...an erratic endeavor that grows more and more compelling (and involving) as it unfolds...
