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 film that is at points torn between the documentary filmmaking tradition and launching a hashtag-ready movement.

Taryn Brumfitt made the Australian documentary feature Embrace with the avowed aim of persuading women to be positive about their bodies.

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 very important viewing for, literally, everyone.

It has an indisputably worthy message, and should be essential viewing for young people.
