Review of Dumplin' (2018) by Manohla Dargis for The New York Times — 06 Dec 2018
Kristin Hahn’s script gives Will sassy lines and too many tears, but the filmmakers never give this character a real, searching, complex inner life. They give her problems to solve, hurdles to clear.
They turn emotional complexity into affirmations and a potentially transformational character into a you-go-girl cliché.
