Very overrated. Fact Check: True Here’s the summary: A man made very bad decisions, the little girl isn’t the villain. No one in this movie is the villain but can we stop ignoring the fact that Charlie decided to cheat on his wife with a man after having a child and cutting off basically all relations with the mom. I don’t care that he’s fat, he made horrible decisions and is now dreading off of the consequences. Highly overrated, great acting, no plot, creepy as hell, the end makes no sense

I enjoyed the movie overall, but it had some spots that were confusing. Why OPEN the movie with him masturbating to porn and being caught doing it?? weird. It set him up as a pathetic individual, when he was not...he was a kind, intelligent, lost soul. The movie was dark and emotionally challenging..The movie did jump all over the place....even though they wanted to show the dicotomy of good and evil I am supposing...? Obesity is never discussed as though it is taboo, and yet it is very common.

The actors were AMAZING! the story was all over the place. It kept skipping from one message to the next with out fully delivering. It's not clear what the main moral of the story is. There was no climax. Not sure what plot structure this is based on. Man in a Hole, but the man finds a way to just keep digging deeper and deeper into the hole. It ended flat and didn't deliver.
