I'm Losing It

I'm Losing It (Ya khudeyu, 2018) is a Russian romantic comedy directed by Aleksey Nuzhny that you can watch online on iFILM. Anya loves two things in life: good food and her handsome athlete boyfriend Zhenya.

When Zhenya dumps her over the weight she's put on, Anya refuses to take it lying down and sets out to drop twenty kilos. Fighting the fridge alone turns out to be brutal. Enter Nikolai — a chubby but fiercely committed fitness fanatic who agrees to coach her through it. Aleksandra Bortich leads the cast and actually slimmed down for the part, alongside Irina Gorbachyova, Roman Kurtsyn and rocker Sergey Shnurov.

The result is a brisk comedy about self-acceptance, where gym-and-diet gags sit next to a surprisingly warm friendship. It was a solid box-office hit at home and left a trail of quotable lines. Good pick for an evening that's light without being empty. Stream I'm Losing It (2018) online on iFILM.
