Title: A very disturbing and degrading film
Review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film."Fat Girl" known in France as "À ma soeur!" is the story of an obese 12 year old girl and her 15 year old sister. They are sharing a room at a resort while they and their mother are travelling. The elder sister meets a young Italian man and they have intimate relations with each other. [...]The film's depiction of underage sexuality, though simulated (The actresses were of legal age at the time of filming), is very explicit and I am surprised that it passed the censors. The film also contains a violent rape scene. I also think the film is degrading to overweight people as it can be though as portraying obese people as being homely.The special features on the DVD are two theatrical trailers, two interviews with the director, and a behind the scenes look at the film.This film is unworthy of Criterion Collection treatment.
Is the review positive or negative?
