Review
Bonifacio’s moving, low-budget look at a Brooklyn man with a humiliating food addiction trying to lose weight tackles the disorder in all of its graphic, heartbreaking detail without slapping on a Hollywood-makeover ending. A small, illuminating film.
Film Therapy
Famiglietti and director Bonifacio gathered funding for the film in the best way they knew how: with hard proof he could lose the weight (he reportedly lost over 100 pounds over the course of filming).
