Well worth seeing even if the execution is a little choppy, because the issues explored here really attain some excellent depth.

Reviews for Disfigured
A novel buddy vehicle contrasting the unique perspectives of a two segments of society ordinarily either marginalized in movies or treated almost as if they didn't exist at all.
Out of control desires like sex, food and emotional neediness intertwine with their opposites of starvation, abstinence, denial, shame and self-hatred throughout this raw and revealing, intensely intimate drama.
The film can’t do the arithmetic right to get to a solution on how to tell a straight story without a bunch of forced tangents and gnarly knots that take too much work to sift through.
A struggling anorexic and her physical opposite form an unlikely friendship in disFIGURED, a funny, awkward and often uncomfortable drama.
A delightful and honest story, full of poignant and humorous moments, it speaks to the fat and the skinny person in all of us.
