Disfigured

About This Movie

Disfigured explores the nuanced dynamics of body image and acceptance through Lydia, a sales clerk grappling with her weight as she nears 30. The film's intimate tone is underscored by its raw portrayal of the Fat Acceptance Group, bringing forward the complexities surrounding self-perception and societal judgment. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with Lydia's internal struggles and the candid interactions with her peers, especially Darcy. The performances feel genuine, with an almost documentary-like quality that enhances the emotional weight. It's interesting how it doesn't shy away from the harsher realities of prejudice while also offering moments of camaraderie and understanding. A distinctive piece in the indie drama scene, it leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
