> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > **Freaks (2018).** A young girl is forbidden to leave her house by her loving but paranoid father. He warns her that people will kill her. One day she has enough and leaves. Things happen. Lexy Kolker, who plays the girl, is excellent, especially considering she was nine at filming. She appears to be building a career, which I hope works out. My take on this at the time: From [Movies you've seen recently (Part 1)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-youve-seen-recently-part-1/699906/1168): > [@Movies you've seen recently (Part 1)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-youve-seen-recently-part-1/699906/1168): > > **[Freaks](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8781414/?ref_=nv_sr_6?ref_=nv_sr_6)** > This year, along with **Fast Color,** this is an example of what can be done with “small” superhero stories (no spandex, no humongous CGI budgets, no shoehorning of “canon” to appease the fanbase). I enjoyed the orchestration of tension and reveals in a sparse story that still manages some significant worldbuilding. The performance of the child actress that is the center of the story is particularly noteworthy. > > Recommended. If you like **Logan** and especially if you like **Fast Color** , I’d recommend seeking this one out. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-youve-seen-recently-part-2/1006288)._
