The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the discussions and visuals. It explores the juxtaposition between conventional beauty and the often overlooked, the 'ugly' aspects of life and art, which is pretty intriguing. The practical effects are minimal but effective, relying heavily on real-world settings and candid interactions. The performances come off as genuine and spontaneous, making it feel more like a conversation than a typical documentary.
