Run time: 75 min. | USA
Remember the Rubik’s Cube? What started as a worldwide fad has now become a competitive sport called “speedcubing,” with competitors unscrambling cubes in as little as twelve mind-bending seconds. “CubeFreak” tells the story of three people fascinated by the Rubik’s Cube: Tyson, a brilliant mind from Caltech, who has resurrected the cube competitions around the country, Macky, the 2006 Guinness Book World Record holder, and Sunil, a quirky yet exceptional high-school student and cube connoisseur. The film follows these cubers on the quest to bring the cube back to the forefront of popular culture.

This is a superb film!! The filmmakers did a superb job of editing their material to construct a tight narrative with dramatic pacing. The film has a number of major and minor themes that are woven into a coherent story that never flags. There is both obvious and subtle humor throghout and the viewer is rewarded with insight into the personalties who have made speedcubing a passion in their lives. It is an uplifting, informing, and positive story that should be enjoyed by all who watch it.
