Featured reviews
"I Am Losing Weight" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we follow the journey of a young woman, Masha, who is determined to lose weight and improve her life.
Since I didn't have high expectations from this movie I found it interesting since it focused on some important and sensitive themes such as struggles with body image, self-improvement, self-acceptance and social pressure and personal growth. The story was relatable, especially in a culture where beauty standards and expectations are constantly in the spotlight. The interpretation of Aleksandra Bortich who played as Masha was solid and strong, as she captured the emotional complexities of her character in order to make significant changes in her life. However, while the film did offer some heartfelt moments, it didn't fully explored its potential. The humor was light, but there wasn't enough depth to make the narrative particularly impactful or memorable. Finally, I have to say that "I Am Losing Weight" is a decent movie with a relatable story and nothing more so, if you want to spend your time you can watch it but don't expect something extraordinary.

Great comedy! Smart, brave and funny! Bortich - just super (scene with that falling on the treadmill in the gym made you laugh)! Recommended for viewing!
Really great movie about changing a lifestyle. This film is more about starting to love yourself, and espeacially your body. This movie is probably not a masterpiece, but there are some advantages(like sometimes funny jokes and really great actors' work) ,which makes you like this movie

The scenery is bravo.
If you don't love yourself, who will love you.
We have a girl, who is not "perfect" and she s left by her boyfriend. She gets depressed and decides to work on her body to get her man back... I guess you can find this script in the heads of many young girls, so you would expect writers to add some spices to this scenario, surprise the young audience. And no. That will not happen. Everything will be the way you imagine... happy ending with everyone being thin.
Apart from being not funny, it also sets bad example of too fast weight-loss journey.
