Dumplin' isn't a story that uses a skinny, conventionally pretty protagonist to pick apart a realm that rewards women exactly like her. It's more imaginative than that, open to the idea that beauty itself is more expansive and subjective. Dec 13, 2018 | Full Review…

Not as bad as it sounds, as it enables the release of some smart emoting, plenty of sequins and some satisfying homespun humor. Jan 9, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
