A dark film about shame and self-sabotage, Fat is not a pretty picture. The truthful ones rarely are.

Toronto Star

Documentary-like in execution, Fat doesn't hold back as Ken reveals both his body and the most intimate details of his life.

Rated: 2.5/4

There is fearlessness here, and uncomfortable raw honesty, but there's also little opportunity to care about a man who pushes everyone, including us, away.

It's an interesting choice, but it isn't handled in a compelling way.

If you have had an ongoing struggle with weight and food addiction, then this will hit home. Rodriguez played a challenging role beautifully.
