Big Packages

About This Movie

So, ‘Big Packages’ is this indie flick that explores the day-to-day lives of four plus-sized friends, and it’s got this oddly charming vibe. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it almost adds to the authenticity of their journey. What stands out is how it tackles themes of body positivity and friendship without veering into preachiness. The performances are quite genuine—these characters feel like real people, not just stereotypes. There’s a warmth to the atmosphere that pulls you in, and while I can’t say much about the director or effects, the rawness of it all gives it a distinctive feel that’s hard to shake off. You might appreciate it for its candid portrayal of life lived outside the typical norms.

‘Big Packages’ is a bit of a hidden gem in the indie scene, and while it hasn’t always been widely released, copies do pop up every now and then. Some collectors have noted that the film’s unique approach to its themes makes it a talking point among niche film enthusiasts. It's not the easiest to find, especially in good condition, so it does pique interest among those who appreciate a more personal storytelling style.
