2018 has been the year of badass female leads who are all about body positivity and empowerment, and Netflix is seriously revving it up with a lot of their original films. Take the December 7 release Dumplin’ for example, the movie is about the big-bodied Willowdean Dickson, Dumplin’ to her mama, played brilliantly by Danielle Macdonald.
While the story is niche, that of a young woman insecure about her body trying to get out from her beauty queen mother Rosie’s (Jennifer Aniston) shadow, it is also very global. In this age of body positivity and self-love, we all struggle with moments of insecurity that jump up on us when we least expect it.
