I've been a fan of Aubrey Gordon — this documentary's main subject — since she started writing anonymously under the name Your Fat Friend. I didn't know that this movie's director, British documentarian Jeanie Finlay, was also following her from around the same time. She captures Gordon's struggles as she opens up to the world about her experiences as a fat person, first anonymously and then, finally, as herself. The most interesting part is the way Gordon's parents react to her journey and how they make sense of the role they played in all of it — good and bad — as her parents. — Victoria Edel
