What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wickedly hilarious and delightfully deranged, Wild Tales is a subversive satire that doubles as a uniformly entertaining anthology film.

It's rare that a casting director's genius is so obvious, but Javier Braier pulls together a huge, disparate cast that is dopey, baiting, mean or gloriously evil at the right times. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 05/21/2015
4/5
It's an explosively funny film, made with great energy. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 05/20/2015
4.5/5
While the stories themselves are about the joys of losing control, their creator knows exactly what can be achieved with crafty pacing, masterly editing and a precisely controlled balance between the matter-of-fact and the shamelessly hysterical.

Not only does "Wild Tales" remains strong in people's minds but it also it anticipated certain actions and social behaviors that are today - unfortunately - part of Argentine daily life. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Benjamín Harguindey EscribiendoCine 08/14/2024

It offers pure escapism and some social criticism. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 05/04/2024
[Filmmaker Damián] Szifrón is all about emotion over reason. He just doesn’t find much to celebrate about passions unleashed. He does, however, find a mordant humor in it all, and he has the wit to pull it off. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jason P. @FloridaMovieCritic Jan 14 Different, quirky and well worth watching. I only gave it four stars because the last two stories dragged on a bit. See more Debi M @RT70254073 Dec 11 I'll repeat what another critic wrote - dark humor at it's finest! Puts Hollywood to shame! I watched Wild Tales twice ... so good. Subtitles never bother me! Loved these 6 short stories in Wild Tales! See more Scott M @RT75128960 Aug 30 These 6 dark humor stories didn't do much for me. But they weren't terrible. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 10 Funny in 2 hours and 2 minutes!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language, Brief Sexuality and Violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Spanish and English versions with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best of the Americas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Pablo S @Pablodel81 Apr 29 Ser argentino potencia el gusto por este plato que nos sirve Szifron, solamente uno siente que todo está bien del otro lado de la pantalla, no sobra ni falta nada. Para colmo están gigantes como Rita, Darin y Sbaraglia. De verdad que se pasan. See more Jay W @RT52162311 04/06/2025 I'm usually not a fan of anthology films. in general, it doesn't capitalize on the feature length film format. It might as well be 5 episodes of a TV show. But, when all the stories of the movie are this good, there isn't much to complain about. The stories are all escalations of simple events. The events could be, taking a flight, eating at a restaurant, cutting someone off in traffic or getting a parking ticket. The story then takes the emotions you feel in that experience to an extreme. What happens when you let your road rage go all the way? What happens if you actually did what you always wanted to do when your car gets towed? That setup, along with quality cinematography and a unique sense of humor, is enough for me to give this movie a high recommendation. See more Read all reviews
