After falling down a YouTube fitness rabbit hole, a woman dives deep into a new obsession. Marissa Losoya’s “Beyond Failure” is a comedic docu-fictional study of a spontaneous foray into sculpting a new ass. What starts as a simple online search for stretches to fix her lower back becomes an all-encompassing pursuit to transform her figure.

However, the obstacles are inescapable and Marissa’s mother is more than willing to cast doubt. Overflowing with deadpan details and a kinetic editing style, Losoya’s film is delivered as a rambling train of thought that’s hilarious and uncomfortably real. -JM.
