Have you ever unintentionally witnessed an intensely personal moment in the life of a stranger? That was how this film was for me. I felt like it was too personal, and none of my business, but, by the time I realized that, I was so invested in the character's life that I had no choice but to watch it until the end, and I am so very glad I did.
This film screened over the weekend at the Nashville Film Festival, and the post-film Q&A was really incredibly powerful. Carmine Famiglietti's journey to lose this weight for himself, as well as to play this role, is intense and heartbreaking, but this man has such a generous, sweet spirit that he cannot help but show as he plays Neil Perota.
This film has been picked up by a teeny-tiny distribution company, so may I take this moment to implore you all to see this film? You will not be sorry you did.
