Has anyone seen Fat Girl?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243255/

I want to see it. I've only found a couple of people that saw it and they didn't like it, but it's way up on my "to see" list.

3. For a second I thought this was part of the "missing DUers" thread
And I thought, "'Fat Girl'? I don't remember a DUer named 'Fat Girl'."



And then my brain starting working again.

W00t for my working brain! :P

4. I found it depressing.
It's made well, but I thought it was a bleak journey to an obnoxious ending.

6. That bad?
I heard it described as a more realistic "coming of age" movie for females.

7. Parts are realistic.
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 02:21 PM by philosophie_en_rose
It's not much of a spoiler to say that the parts about body image were realistic. However, it is really, really depressing. I also speak French and found some of the subtitles to be distracting, though that's beside the issue.

I didn't expect a happy ending, but this one was particularly ridiculous. I think it's a stretch to say that the main character "comes of age."

5. Really didn't like it
The ending was just stupid.
