Beloved fitness influencer Sylwia seemingly has it made: hundreds of thousands of social media followers, endorsement deals, photo spreads in magazines. But as she starts to share more and more online, the rising pressure from concerned sponsors and increasingly obsessive fans forces her to confront her deepest insecurities and the exhaustive demands of her lifestyle.

Critics Consensus

Well-acted and appropriately beautiful, Sweat takes a thoughtful, empathetic look at social media fame.

Whether viewers will be swayed by such patness is certainly an open question, but Sweat does manage to introduce a few intriguing discomforts, before it rushes to blot them away.

Magnus von Horn directs his Swedish-Polish film with empathy, never letting us judge Sylwia (played with ferocious acuity by Magdalena Kolesnik) and her burning desire for the spotlight.

Really well-done, a propulsive and neon feeling to it, well worth checking out and I'd love to see it in cinemas.

2.5/5

Sylwia’s thirst for sincerity, in spite of everything, is the main plot driver in von Horn’s somewhat simplistic, but packed with adrenaline one-hander (...) For the second time in his career, [Magnus von Horn] stockpiled several Golden Lions in Gdynia.

4/5

You shouldn’t sweat the small stuff but [the film] shows that the small things matter to an influencer. Every single “like” is validation... So Sweat, Van Horn and Magdalena Kolesnik get one huge like and subscribe.

3/5

Sweat survives its glossy production varnish due to the emotional stakes of the plot and a confident performance by Kolenik.
