‘Fat Girl’ was a briiliant exploration of sensuality, desire, and the reasoning that says to us that we can only experience sensuality and desire versus standing on the sidelines ‘theorizing’ about ‘sex’ and being ‘horny’.

The rewarding experience of watching this film comes from recognizing that catherine breillat has created a very powerful potrayal not based on creating some ‘feel good, fun movie’, but creating a very powerful exploration into the charged realms of sensuality and desire. People who went into this film thinking ‘fun’ should stick with watching ‘American Pie’ flicks to watch dumb, one-dimensional, ‘horny’ characters waste their time running about trying to get laid for no other reason than….trying to get laid.

This fillm belongs to those willing to invest themselves into the power, into the surge, and into the abundance of the senses.
