Dumplin'
2018 · TMDB 6.8
Directed by Anne Fletcher
To prove a point about measuring up and fitting in, Texas teen Willowdean “Dumplin’” Dickson enters a local pageant run by her ex-beauty queen mom.
Why it matters
A plus-size teen enters a beauty pageant to honour her late father, with Dolly Parton's music as her anthem. Parton appears in a supporting role, and the film is a warm, crowd-pleasing celebration of self-acceptance.
