Review

by Joel B

mostly uninvolving documentary

This is one of those documentaries where its hard to see where the driving force behind making it came from. Some interesting themes are brought up involving race in Hollywood and the pressures of maintaining a 'perfect' appearance but these are glossed over in favour of a pretty aimless sequence of soundbites. Maybe the director thought he'd find something more profound in the words of his subjects but, aside from some reasonably involving stuff from Tangi Miller (who seems to be the only one of the actresses who has found any significant success since the making of this documentary) there isn't a lot to get interested in. In fact, at times the director seems to resort to almost mocking the aspiring actresses and their aspirations, which leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
