Protein

About This Movie

So, 'Protein' is this wild ride through the world of bodybuilding, really something else. The tone is offbeat, almost absurd at times, and it pulls you into the extreme lengths people go to for the perfect physique. The pacing is a bit erratic, which can feel jarring, but I think it plays into the chaotic lifestyle the film portrays. There’s this gritty realism in the practical effects, capturing the sweat and intensity of the gym scenes without glossing over the grit. The performances, while not from big names, are raw and authentic, bringing a certain charm to the madness. It’s this strange mixture of inspiration and cautionary tale, all wrapped up in a bizarre atmosphere that sticks with you.
