Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Mar 1, 2024
I laughed. I cried. I came out thinking that the world really could be a better place if we all start to accept each other for what we are and not what we think we should or have to be... it's really uplifting. Go to Full Review Sophie Butcher Empire Magazine Feb 12, 2024
4/5
A simple but effective study of a vital activist voice, this documentary is a powerful force for change. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Feb 9, 2024
2/5

This documentary is about Aubrey Gordon's rise in fame, yes, but it's also a reflection of the day-to-day experience of millions. It's honest and empathetic without ever begging the audience to see fat people as human. Go to Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Dec 31, 2024
Built on hard-earned intimacy, it’s both bracingly honest and enlighteningly hopeful. Go to Full Review Samantha Puc The Mary Sue Jul 9, 2024
