So, 'Gorgeous' is this intriguing drama that really digs into the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations, especially for a fat woman like Beth. The pacing is deliberate, which gives you time to really feel the tension brewing as the wedding day approaches. You can feel the weight of Beth's emotions, highlighted by her mother's quiet but suffocating presence. The performances are raw and really resonate—there's a kind of authenticity that’s hard to find. Practical effects are minimal, but the set design and wardrobe choices do a lot to establish character and mood. It’s somewhat uneven, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it makes the moments of connection feel more earned.
