Super freaks?

Freakonomics (2010)

This documentary is based on the economics book of the same name by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. Through a collection of short films we take a look at human behaviour in unusual ways.

It is obviously hard for a 85 minute film to cover all the information of a book but this film does a pretty good job of covering a lot of material in concise and easy to understand way. Despite being billed as a economics book the content ranges far more into sociology than anything else. Some of the details are a little short and the material occasionally controversial but this is still a pretty good watch.

3/5
