Interesting movie with an original plot. It reminded me of the French movie Vivre me tue as it focuses on bodybuilding as a way of life. On another level, it can be compared with My little princess because it confronts a child with an artistic and abusive mother.
The pace of the movie is slow and maybe not explicit enough, but it is the subtle portrait of a teenager who is not sure about who he is and what he desires. Are you your body and do you have a body?
My favorite scene is the mirror scene. It's all about the fragmentation of the self.
