Hard Fat

About This Movie

Hard Fat is a curious exploration into a niche subculture that often goes unnoticed. The documentary dives into the lives of gainers, men who intentionally pursue weight gain for pleasure, both their own and that of others. It’s raw, unapologetic, and rather intimate in its approach. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but that adds to the authenticity. The film captures candid interviews and personal stories, showcasing the diverse motivations behind this lifestyle. There’s an honest atmosphere throughout, with no glamorization—just real people talking about their bodies and desires. It’s a distinct look at body image that challenges societal norms, leaving you with more questions than answers, which I find quite fascinating.
