AEROBICS: A LOVE STORY (2015) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Anders Rune

Written by - Niklas Holmgren

Starring - Madeleine Martin, Marina Nystrom, Victor von Schirach

"A mentally challenged woman falls in love with a down and out obese man, whose wild and misunderstood ambition does not match his scale of success. 

Aerobics: A Love Story is simply a tender film about the right to intimacy and love as a form of redemption. The unusual element comes from the characters themselves, and their obvious vulnerability, which in turn leads to a resolution that preaches self acceptance. 

Anders Rune can be praised for his good balance of humour with a tasteful approach for his characters. Nevertheless, a clear imperfection shows in the seemingly rushed ending, and the array of cliches that underwhelm the ambition and universally relatable nature of his story."
