Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail A dark film about shame and self-sabotage, Fat is not a pretty picture. The truthful ones rarely are. Oct 30, 2015 Full Review Linda Barnard 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 Oct 29, 2015 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 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. Dec 16, 2015 Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald Rodriguez just slays this role. Rated: A- Dec 8, 2015 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto It's an interesting choice, but it isn't handled in a compelling way. Rated: 2/5 Oct 28, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
