Gorgeous

About This Movie

Gorgeous presents a rather unsettling exploration of modern beauty standards through the animated lens of Hermoine, a character who embodies the struggles many women face. The animation style itself has an eerie quality—think bright colors juxtaposed with dark themes. It tackles serious issues like body image and eating disorders in a way that feels raw and honest, almost chaotic at times. The pacing can be erratic, mirroring Hermoine's turbulent journey through plastic surgery and bulimia. There’s a sense of urgency to her story, which makes the film quite engaging despite its heavy subject matter. It's distinct in its unapologetic approach, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable realities while wrapped in a seemingly vibrant package.
