Freeway 2 Confessions Of A Trickbaby | Year: 1999 Directed: - Matthew Bright Actors/Actresses: - David Alan Grier - Natasha Lyonne - Maria Celedonio - Vincent Gallo A great sequel to a great film I loved Freeway, & I was surprised & pleased to discover that Freeway 2 is every bit as memorable. Little connects the films except their similar tone, which is totally unique & almost beyond description. Equal parts violent, funny, sad, disturbing & (most surprisingly, perhaps) genuinely compassionate. The two female leads are tremendous; Natasha Lyonne in particular rises to the occasion w/ a ferocious performance as White Girl. Vincent Gallo has a brief but memorable role. Highly recommended. One of the most original and fun movies I've ever watched! I got to see this at the Toronto Film Festival, and the writer/director Matthew Blight introduced the film, and he said that the film was basically about girls and his obsession with them. After watching it, it's quite evident that this is true. Anyways, all I have to say is that I really loved this movie. It had so much energy and was just really enjoyable to watch. I haven't got the dvd yet, but I hope it's the exact same cut I saw at the film festival. In my opinion this had way more energy than the first Freeway, (which I felt was kind of boring, and honestly didn't like that much), and you have to love Vincent Galo in this. Classic! This was easily the best film I saw at the film festival, and my girlfriend thought so too. So I recommend it to those who like something fun and different, and I know it's not for everyone, but give it a chance. Also, if you bought the dvd and didn't like, feel free to send it my way. :) Don't eat the tamales I thought that Freeway was weird but gripping: it has a unique feel (that can also be experienced in Modern Vampires). This movie is something else. I do not know why it is called Freeway 2 other than to attract audiences taken in by the first film. It has no common characters (at least none that I could remember) and only the trickbaby and social abuse themes are the same. This is a movie of two very unequal halves. The first half involves White Girl and Cyclona in a juvenile jail. White Girl has been unfairly imprisoned and Cyclona killed her family. There are the usual stereotypes and a really good projectile vomit scene. They escape and create a trail of chaos witeh the extent of Cyclona's mental illness becoming clear. The best part of the movie is when they hit Tijuana. Now it gets really BIZARRE! Vincent Gallo is a cannibal, cross dressing, religious nut with a penchant for making child-sex movies that pretends to cure Cyclona of her demons and attempts to overfeed White Girl to health. Well, it doesn't make any sense but it does have a happy ending (not too far unrelated to Hansel and Gretel).
