Review of Freud

Freud (2020)
Interesting and engrossing but it did freak me out a little
7 December 2020
I usually enjoy these reimaginings of history.

Suspend all disbelief ye who enter here.

This is beautifully done and well-acted. The police inspector and his partner were especially enjoyable. Having little musical interludes was strange but fun.

I watched this in its entirety in a single day. I had no preconceptions about what is was and so was not disappointed that it wasn't a biopic.

I mostly followed what was going on but admit that part of my being freaked out from it is not only because it deals with some very bizarre things, but that there were time when I found myself totally lost as to what was going on.

Another negative for me was the score. It sometimes became oppressive. Maybe there was a reason for it, but it got in my way and distracted me.

I would watch a spin-off of Inspector Kiss and Poschacher solving crimes! ;)

I think you just need to go with the flow here. I'm glad I did. The story resolves, in the end, quite nicely for most of the characters. I was satisfied that I watched it and while I didn't find myself thinking and wondering about it after (like I often do for something really good), I'd recommend it.
