...en tonårsfilm som undviker genrens obligatorier.
Like a pillow cross-stitched with sassy aphorisms, Dumplin’ is kitschy and squishy and, if let yourself, pretty sweet to sink into.
Part fairy tale, part coming-of-age story, and always about self-acceptance, this movie will make you laugh and warm your heart.
Director Anne Fletcher has helped craft a heartfelt ode to a teenager finding herself in Dumplin's film adaptation, and she does it with a magnetic lead in Danielle MacDonald.
