The last 20 mins of this film really made me sob so hard.
This film will make you feel. I felt disgust, despite, guilt, and empathy. A film that makes you feel is a good thing. Enjoy this one.
Every character in this film has issues with what their life has turned into. A gut wrenching story of obesity and other human issues.
It did loneliness and heartache so well. Couldn't help but feel compassion for the character. And it was all done inside one apartment.
Slow and not as dark as you might expect from Aronofsky. However, the payoff is a big and emotional one, as is typical from the director. B+
This movie has a very slow start and middle. Nonetheless, the story is great and I would watch again.
A sad story, with amazing acting by Fraser! A film to make you hope your life has meaning. If nothing else, having a beautiful last thought
One of the saddest, most powerful and beautiful movies I’ve seen. Fraser’s acting is so real and heart-wrenching! He deserves that Oscar!
I get that the performances are excellent. But I don’t get the portrayal of this man. The whole idea is based around anti fatness. Hmmm
Actors did an amazing job. It successfully portrays the struggles of obesity and the roots of issues people face with this.
