When a morbidly obese man becomes friends with two people, his life changes.

Jonathan Holland

The Hollywood Reporter

The issue of how Fede actually got this way is never broached by a script which seems over-determined to keep it simple all round, but which is nonetheless often effective and unfailingly respectful of its unusual hero and his special problems.

G. Allen Johnson

San Francisco Chronicle

While Alejandro Guzman Alvarez's Mexican indie "Walking Distance" moves as slowly as its corpulent hero, it's mostly gentle and sweet, if you can forgive its somewhat unsatisfactory third act.

Rated: 3/4

This might seem like a film about overcoming adversity, but instead the film goes after more profound subjects and does so well. [Full Review in Spanish]

Tuve la fortuna de toparme con este filme gracias a la popularidad que ganÃ³ en el Festival de cine Skip City. Una historia muy conmovedora y una excelente banda sonora. Â¡Espero con ansias su estreno en cine para enero del 2019!
