This is a film that is difficult to say you "liked." It gives a view of the different facets of cruelty. Anais (the "Fat Girl" of the title) is buffeted with cruelty and indifference at every turn--that directed toward her and that she witnesses. Her corpulence is both an attempt to insulate herself against these assaults but at the same time, indicative of her internalization of them. But ultimately, the film is similarly an assault on the viewer, be warned. It stings.

I was hopeful about this movie, looking for some satiric entertainment about the inner life of office workers. However, what I got was a rather self-indulgent film with nothing to say. I was looking at my watch 10 minutes into it!
