It has an indisputably worthy message, and should be essential viewing for young people.

At 90 minutes, the film is too long, but it is never dull, partly because it's edited with pace and humour.

Rated: 3.5/5

The documentary is just like Taryn -- engaging, refreshing and totally accessible. A blend of talking head interviews and honest anecdotes inform and enlighten the viewer.

Rescu (Australia)

Through her strong message of self-acceptance, Taryn shifts the focus of bodies and physical health to that of mental health; demonstrating that our obsession with image, especially the unattainable, is doing more damage that many may suspect.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this movie. In every way this movie spoke volumes on so many levels about our culture and how it shapes how we view others...and most strikingly how we can degrade ourselves. Even when our natural state is love others and ourselves. Incredible message and incredibly well done.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A movie about educating women to love the body they have, instead of trying to get the glossy magazine body.
