Wild Tales

Latin American Czech show Bachelors but this time cynical. None of the short stories lack a basic idea (if nothing else), but without exception, everyone here more or less lacks more elaboration of the introductory "cynical teaser", it does not hit the right note, it lacks gradation and punchline. Szifron has good ideas, but someone else should have written it for him in the form of a script. This is a waste of good potential, which still works mainly thanks to the duo of segments "Auto squabble" and "gritty bash". (04/30/2016)

A few more or less crazy stories that definitely don't spare the viewer. You don't know whether to cry, laugh, or maybe turn it off to keep your sanity. But the adrenaline that flows under the skin of all the characters will ultimately decide for you. You simply must watch this. Each of the stories is mediocre at the very least, but most of them are powerfully above average. I was most excited about the wedding and the tire. 4.5 stars. (03/01/2016)

Wild Stories is a very dark, extremely real and incredibly funny whirlwind of six short stories in which not one is an outsider. I have to say, I haven't seen such an excellently acted and realistic film in a long time, where one moment you are in fits of laughter and the next you are shocked by a perfect twist. For me, the winner is the third story. Violent hixploitation, where a small stupidity can turn into a tragedy. The second place goes to the fifth story, where from the first minute something unpleasant and depressing is lurking in the air, a really strong drama with a shocking conclusion. Third place: the story at the wedding, brilliantly conceived, funny most of the time and even nerve-wracking at the end, and the fourth place to the fourth story about an underdog who reaches the limit of human patience and literally explodes. Of course, the opening short story with the plane and the perfect idea or the immediately following story about revenge are also good. 100% A flawless affair. (10/21/2014)

I didn’t really know what to expect from Wild Tales. A movie consisting of short stories usually has some interesting parts and some not so. But this movie has executed it perfectly. In my opinion, not one of those six short stories was mediocre, let alone bad. Some were prefect and some were “only” great. After I watched this movie, I realized that I have never watched a short-story movie that would already make me excited to see another story right after I’ve finished one, but Wild Tales have managed to do this with zero problems and won me over with each story. I liked the one where the two guys beat each other up by that bridge the most. I watched this for the Challenge Tour 2015. (04/09/2015)

Wild Tales has become the number one must-see film of the year. It’s been promoted everywhere. The truth is that it doesn't actually hurt. It's a series of stories that handle anecdotal situations in which the main characters have lost their nerve. The point is thus clear - everyone would like to experience revenge on their former teacher, transport company, or cheating husband. Straightforwardness is valued as genius nowadays. (11/01/2014)
