“Dying In Plain Sight” (**1/2 out of four) was an unexpectedly moving melodrama about an overweight high-school outcast (Raffa Virago) who goes through heartbreaking ordeals at school and at home with her mother (Nicola Correia-Damude) as they both try to come to terms with a severe social/medical/personal problem. Many effective moments in a film that is no masterwork but consistently dodges cliche and bathos and is anchored by strong lead performance from Virago. Starts to peter out after a while but is still worthwhile especially for those afflicted by bullying and weight problems.
