Lbs definitely comes from the heart. It is an eloquently well developed story about a man's struggle with food addiction. I was surprisingly impressed. I went to see this film at Hunter College's Avignon New York Film Festival with out any expectations upon the recommendation of a co-worker. I was frustrated, elated, saddened all while feeling like I had the opportunity to peek into the intimate life of Neil (the protagonist).
This film is a breath of fresh air in a much too saturated Hollywood "bubble-gum-feel-good " market, and you need to see it. It is an honest and personal exploration of a man's desire to fill "the void." Haven't we all struggled with wanting to fill that void? Even though, not all of us struggle with food addiction we all struggle with something, and this film makes you think to yourself about yourself, and other's in your life who have battled such vices and many others.
The director, the cast and crew succeeded in telling the honest truth behind Neil's battle with food addiction in a very sensitive and human way. You need to see this film and you need to tell others the same. You will not regret it. In fact, you will be the better for it.
It premieres March 2006.
