Gloss

About This Movie

Gloss is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, capturing the absurdities of the fashion world through the eyes of a naive girl from a coal-mining town. The pacing is kind of erratic at times, but it mirrors the chaotic lifestyle of its protagonist. This girl, with dreams bigger than her hometown, navigates the bizarre and often superficial Moscow fashion scene. The practical effects are pretty minimal but serve the narrative well, emphasizing the stark contrasts between her origins and the glamorous yet hollow world she aspires to join. Performances feel genuine, with a rawness that brings a sense of authenticity to the satire. It's distinctive in how it balances humor with a critical lens on beauty standards and aspirations.
