Test
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.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyMost people are into this raw story about a bodybuilder named Eddie wrestling with his faith and sexuality, even if it's a heavy sit. The biggest praise goes to the film's striking visuals, but a vocal chunk of the audience finds the story itself a bit thin and the acting uneven. While director Sam McConnell gets talked about, it's mostly for negative reasons, and Tammy Blanchard's performance as Eddie's codependent mother didn't land with the few who mentioned it.
