Freaks
Kept under lock and key by her paranoid father (Emile Hirsch), seven-year-old Chloe (Lexy Kolker, a revelation) yearns to experience the simple pleasures of childhood. But when she finally ventures outside, she quickly realizes that she’s no ordinary girl and that the world beyond the dead bolt is stranger still. In turn, Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein’s skewed sci-fi thriller ratchets up the go-for-broke audacity as it laces the family drama of Room with genre confections indebted to vintage Spielberg.
