Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
prernatalwar-91076 I have gone through each and everything shown in this show. And, this show really focuses on the stigmas, though the story can be better, maybe next season. But for start and for 1st season it's great. Looking forward for this show because it really moves you and force you to think with every perspective.
nikkigassner "Back then, I didn't want to be the hero, I still wanted to be the hero's girlfriend." Watch it. Hell yes it's over the top, but it's amazing.
marysz I haven't seen the whole series, but I like Dietland. Posters here have objected to Plum's passivity and desire to be thinner, but Plum, in a way, is a stand-in for the audience, who long to be thinner, younger, more glam, etc. but resist looking into the political and cultural systems that marginalize and impoverish them. I like the Brooklyn settings and NYC locale of the show. I hope this dark and well-written show gets a second season. All the characters are interesting and we need to get to know them better.
paper-pagan Tried watching, didn't really get very far. It says this woman is tired of how she's being treated, in truth, she's the only person who has a problem with her weight and is really touchy on the subject, often purposefully misunderstanding interactions to feed into her insecurities. In truth she's perfectly fine, witty, calm, polite - if you ask anyone else, she's lovely. But no. If you ask her, she's not even Bridget Jones fat, she's a monstrosity and that's the only reason why she's all those things she doesn't believe she deserves, but insists she is: single, lonely, poor. To top the cliché, she surrounds herself with women she thinks are better people, simply because they weight less. I am not sure at which point this depressing premise becomes comedy, but not a single scene was enjoyable - if this was a horror, then maybe. If it got pushed slightly more into horror and the whole issue was even more depressingly absurd, then maybe it would work.
