Distorsions

About This Movie

So, 'Distorsions' – this 2025 short is a raw dive into the complexities of family and body image. It's not flashy, but it captures this heavy atmosphere where Laurent, the father, is really struggling with his morbid obesity. You feel that weight, not just physically but emotionally too. And then there's Alex, his son, who's trying to navigate his own issues, spiraling into orthorexia. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sink into their world, and the performances are quite poignant. It’s one of those films that uses very practical effects – nothing over the top. It’s really about the internal battles, which makes it stand out in the drama genre, a real slice of life without the usual glam.

Family dynamics explored through weight issues.Realistic portrayal of eating disorders.Strong performances, particularly in emotional scenes.
