Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Freaks (out Sep 12) is a futuristic sci-fi flick about a father (Emile Hirsch) who is shielding his 7-year-old daughter (Lexy Kolker) from the dangers of the world. Writer-directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky withhold key information and while it builds early intrigue, I'm not sure the finale is worth it. Grade: B.
