Empire Waist

The most heartwarming movie I've seen in years! Absolutely loved this! It has a powerful message which is conveyed through jokes, heartfelt moments, and friendships/relationships. Empire Waist is my new comfort movie when I need my faith restored in humanity. The characters are relatable and their motivations are clear/they all make sense (unlike so many recent movies). I wish this movie existed when I was younger, and I'm so glad it's out there now for this next generation. Everyone deserves to experience Empire Waist for themselves.

I laughed, I cried, and I learned about the power of believing in yourself. A must-see for all ages.

I really liked the film

the filming part is very good, the local recording camera angles are also good, the actors were very good all the time, especially Missi Pyle and Rainn Wilson, this greatly enhanced the film, but we must be careful when we talk about a person who has a greater weight, it's not a question of being prejudiced, or thinking it's ugly, it's nothing like that, one because I think chubby girls are beautiful, but health is also important and we shouldn't leave that aside.

I really liked the script, showing that people can do evil by not accepting the happiness of others, and want to control others around them.

One of the most heartwarming and important films I've ever watched. It's a perfect blend of wit and charm. It has an important message for everyone who has struggled with body image. Mia Kaplan and Jemima Tevu do a fantastic job and give beautifully emotional performances. Their on-screen chemistry is at the heart of the film. The supporting cast also gives amazing performances. Holly McDowell and Rainn Wilson in particular are comedic highlights in the movie. McDowell is a queen of physical comedy and someday she'll join the big leagues. Wilson also isn't afraid to pull any emotional punches with his performance, giving a great blend of comedy and emotional sincerity (just like the film as a whole). Aric Floyd is also amazing and you will absolutely fall in love with his character Charlie.

"Empire Waist" is a heartfelt and empowering movie that beautifully captures the journey of self-acceptance and body positivity. Its diverse cast and relatable storylines resonate strongly, especially with its honest portrayal of body image struggles. The film celebrates individuality and confidence, making it a refreshing watch for anyone, regardless of size. It encourages viewers to embrace themselves fully, spreading a positive message that everyone is worthy, no matter their shape or size. Let's go fat people-this movie is a win for body positivity and inclusivity! Lets goooooooooooooooooooooo.

I went to see this film with my husband. I expected it to be funny and entertaining. It was all that - and much, much more! We laughed, we cried, we loved it! I went back with some friends and still laughed, cried, and loved it just as much. Yes, it does a great job tackling a lot of sensitive issues - but besides the message - it is just a great, very enjoyable film! In front of me was a family with 9-year-old daughters who both understood the issues and who loved the film. It left me thinking about so many things - among them, about which kind of mother I would have been if I were trying to protect my daughter from all the nastiness high school can offer.
