Lbs. Ratings & Reviews
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
A low-budget movie that is well-written and well-acted by a cast of relative unknowns.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An inspirational Marty-like pic that flattens out as it delivers its 'accept yourself' message about a compulsive over eater.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Lbs. leaves you hungering for a few more insights and answers than it offers.
What Would Toto Watch?
Christian Toto
Lbs. tackles a common problem with uncommon dignity.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
An astonishing transformation is a big part of the story in Lbs., but it is not the whole story.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Those in search of a mirror for their own weight issues will find a deluxe one here.
Boston Phoenix
Betsy Sherman
With obesity now a pop-culture as well as a medical issue, Lbs. offers insight -- as well as laughs and heartstring tugging -- into the struggles of a food addict.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Lbs. addresses its all-too-relevant topic with subtlety, sensitivity and welcome doses of humor.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Truthfulness, along with the movie's emotional honesty and narrative polish, help tag this NY-grown indie as one to seek out.
New York Magazine/Vulture
A small, illuminating film.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
Lbs. look and feel has an unassuming confidence that's all the more remarkable for this being a first feature, when new filmmakers usually can't resist being flashy in an attempt to be memorable.
New York Press
Mark Peikert
When a movie is written and filmed as part of the writer-actor's effort to save his own life and slim down, the movie feels, to a certain extent, critic-proof.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An inspirational drama that's somewhat unfocused and occasionally veers toward contrivance and oversimplification, but remains engaging thanks to Famiglietti's brave, warm and charismatic performance.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo
On one side, the film deals with a subject not often touched and this alone gives it an urgency and a credibility...but formally the film earns no stripes.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Those concerned with obesity issues may find "Lbs." authentic and inspirational. Otherwise it's an earnest little low-budget indie without much to distinguish it.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Lbs. makes for an alternately sad and funny companion piece to last year's (slightly funnier and darker) Big Fan, only with burritos instead of the New York Giants.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
Matthew Bonifacio's idiosyncratic portrait of one man's struggle to get control of his appetites.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
If you were to write an utterly predictable tale of a druggie and then replace "slice of pizza" for every instance of "cocaine" in the script you would get Lbs.
Variety
David Rooney
The intimately personal chronicle is more impressive for Famiglietti's disarming self-exposure than for any fully formed cinematic style or consistency of tone, but the modest production has a genuine, warm spirit.
