Very surprised. Expectations of a film about obese Americans produced by Oprah Winfrey weren't high but I was bowled over. Acting is first class in every respect, direction is superb, camerwork excellent and the whole thing is put together very creatively, sensitively too. It has the feel of a documentary, but with a touch of fantasy that lightens the generally dark tale. Not for those whose idea of movie-watching is escapism, non-stop action and a comic-book script but if you love cinematic art, skilled acting and inspired direction, telling a story that resonates long after you've finished watching, this is for you.
