This movie tries to present an integrated picture behind Taryn Brumfitt, which has caused great controversy in the world. The film depicts the whole issue of body hate, negative images, what can be done, and what women can do to improve their physical and mental well-being.
Embrace is the kind of informative, helpful film mothers might want to take their young daughters to see, and teachers might want to show their students.
For many, she won't be saying or offering up anything new, but what Brumfitt is doing, without the gimmickry of say That Sugar Film or Super Size Me, is highlighting how global the problem of body shaming and self-loathing has become.
Embrace is an uplifting and engaging film with plenty of guts, setting out the social parameters that constrain women of almost all ages by impossible, self imposed criteria. Good on her
A highly accessible and refreshingly honest Australian-made documentary, Embrace is transmitting a valuable message all women should be hearing loud and clear.
