Weightless (2025) San Sebastian 2025

 


You will please excuse me if I don’t do a big write up of WEIGHTLESS because the film moved me.

The story of a heavy girl at a health camp who finds her footing through a friend touched my heart. There were moments in the film that hit home for me, not so much as being a big guy, my weight problem came later in life, but rather being an outsider and an awkward teen who was uncertain of where they stood in the world. In the week or so since I’ve seen the film I’ve wrestled with trying to find the words to really express how much I like the film, while not going into long digressions about my past.

This is a great film. It is beautifully acted and shot so well as to feel real.

I highly recommend the film.
