Overview

Injustice and the demands of the world can cause stress for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This includes a waitress serving a grouchy loan shark, an altercation between two motorists, an ill-fated wedding reception, and a wealthy businessman who tries to buy his family out of trouble.

The funniest of the six stories is a brilliantly extended riot of absurdly brutal road rage.

How to discuss this giddily inventive Argentinian feature without ruining its many surprises?

Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

Szifron brings everything to the table here: anger, rage, betrayal, malice aforethought and panic. But he leavens this with humor, style, cleverness and wit.

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but the dark comedy Wild Tales (Relatos salvajes) argues that payback is more satisfying when it's doled out in fiery, bloody and outrageous doses.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Wild Tales - Relatos salvajes in its original Spanish - is, indeed, savage. And surprising. Your jaw will drop, your head will shake, more than a few times.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
