Ugly Cry

About This Movie

Ugly Cry is a fascinating blend of comedy and horror that takes a unique look at the pressures of performance, particularly in acting. Delaney's obsession with the 'ugly cry' trope is both humorous and a bit tragic. There's something very relatable about her struggle to balance her artistic vision with the industry's expectations. The pacing has this odd rhythm, oscillating between laugh-out-loud moments and more introspective scenes. The practical effects, especially during the audition sequences, add a gritty realism that contrasts nicely with the absurdity of her situation. The whole vibe feels fresh, and the performances really capture that blend of desperation and dark humor. It’s a quirky exploration of self-image through the lens of horror tropes.
