Gangnam Beauty

About This Movie

So, 'Gangnam Beauty' is an interesting dive into obsession and identity. It follows Oli London, who, let’s be honest, takes his admiration for Jimin to an extreme level. What struck me is how the documentary juxtaposes Oli's personal journey with this Korean shamanic tale, which really adds depth to the narrative. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it reflects Oli's chaotic quest for transformation. The practical effects of editing make some moments quite surreal, almost dreamlike. And the performances, particularly from Oli, feel raw and unfiltered. It’s not just about plastic surgery; it digs into cultural perceptions of beauty and self-worth, which makes it stand out in the documentary genre.
