After a surprise PGA nom, Jeremy Dawson explains why Brendan Fraser was perfect for the role and how the movie is not meant to be representative of all with obesity: “This is a film that takes place with one guy in one apartment.”
“It’s a good feeling to know that the people who vote for this are people who actually make movies and love movies, so they’re responding to it based on the product,” Dawson tells. “I think we’re just happy that it has connected to as many people as it has — and even how it’s been doing at the box office vis-à-vis some of the other adult dramas this year.
After its premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival — where Fraser was moved to tears during the six-minute ovation that followed the screening — the film was criticized for its portrayal of people affected by obesity and was accused of perpetuating anti-fat stereotypes.
