Details

Roger Ungers’ insightful documentary explodes the harmful, nigh-on impossible body image standards gay men are bombarded with in glossy magazines, on social media and hookup apps. Eviscerating a hierarchy favouring white over people of colour, perfectly sculpted abs over more common figures, and looking down on those who embrace femme identities or are older, it also speaks to one gymgoer who looks the part but battles body dysmorphia doubts. Shape asks if there’s a way the gay community can become more truly inclusive.

GazerRise Fantastic!
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
