Test
The film
The unforgettable, striking, and emotionally raw story of Eddie, a young bodybuilder struggling to define himself in a community with limited opportunity. Eddie lives under the intense influence of his deeply codependent mother while grappling with gay sexual desires that clash with the rigid religious beliefs that shape his world. Convince that his only path forward is through perfecting the body God gave him, Eddie pursues bodybuilding with an obsessive devotion that ultimately forces him to questions of identity, masculinity, and faith.
The Cast
The Real Review
Most people responded positively to this raw story about a bodybuilder grappling with faith and desire, but the reaction splits on the specifics. While the premise about Eddie's obsessive devotion and identity crisis is compelling, the story itself didn't work for many, often called thin or underwritten. Brock Yurich gets some mention as Eddie, but much of the performance discussion centers on director Sam McConnell's choices, which landed poorly. It's a film where the concept hits harder than the execution for a lot of viewers.
