Los Frikis

A must see.

Best feature I've seen this year. Tragic circumstance requiring survival shows the power of Love and the indomitable human spirit, prevailing in such a way it will drive you to tears and celebration simultaneously! The directing is amazing, writing amazing, and editing amazing also. Oscar noms for the lead actors and actress would not surprise me!

My heart was vulnerable throughout, and the ending was dynamic. Did not disappoint. The gent I was seated next to told one of the producers after the viewing, " You have made the perfect film". Will think about this for a long time. Best of luck with SAG awards. Deserving!

Los Frikis is a hauntingly beautiful film that took me by surprise. Watching it blind at AMC last night, I was captivated by the raw drama and stunning cinematography. The story is deeply moving, showcasing complex characters and a gripping narrative that lingers long after the credits roll. Every performance felt authentic, and the direction brought it all together flawlessly. The film strikes an emotional chord, blending beauty and heartbreak in equal measure. This is a movie that deserves widespread support and recognition. Don't miss it-it's a cinematic experience that truly resonates and stays with you.

You simply don't see movies like this anymore and it shouldn't be missed. There is a story here that has been hidden from the world that needed to be told. Not only was that achieved, but it was done with mainly unknown actors who are far better than the typical mainstream (their careers are going to explode,) and just the right amount of humor added to the grit of their lives. Cuban actors are playing Cuban people as it should be. Everything about this screams the next big thing. Think of original cast of the Outsiders and how while watching it, it felt like we were a part of something bigger, then think about the careers those actors had. It is the same with Los Frikis. From screenwriting, to directing, musical score, cinematography, it excels. You must watch this film.

Approached with care because of the fateful plot line, this film will be my favorite of the Tallgrass FF. The actors were invested in this incredible movie which recreates Havana at the start of the AIDS epidemic. I don't expect to see a film this raw, raucous and tender again this year.

Direction was lively, the cast were authentic, cinematography was impressive. Little time was wasted setting up the narrative which was tough to digest, frank and brutal. The music exploded with energy. The script presented tough choices, tough consequences, tough behavior.

Scheduled for a December 2024 release. If you get a chance to see it in a theater, grab it.

I was fortunate to see "Los Frikis" showcased at the Miami Film Festival. It was an exhilarating experience that captivated the audience with its raw intensity and thought-provoking narrative.

It's not surprising that the creators of "Peanut Butter Falcon" delivered characters with such authenticity that their struggles, desperation, and triumphs resonated with the viewers on a profound level.

"Los Frikis" is a cinematic masterpiece that combines powerful storytelling with outstanding performances and stunning cinematography. It is a must-see for anyone looking to be moved and inspired by the indomitable spirit of human resilience. This film at the was a true gem, GO SEE IT!!
