Screen International

An immersive, often melancholic, study of the paradoxes of a world where the perfect external look is frequently achieved by ruining the body on the inside through drugs, and where staying in control is paramount.

The Film Verdict

This unexpectedly haunting film truly gets under the skin, upending how we initially view the main character and her muscle-bound body to reveal the multidimensional person within.
