So, 'Not Just an Ugly Face' is this quirky documentary that centers around the World Gurning Contest in Egremont, England. It's been happening for ages—since 1267, believe it or not! The film really captures the unique atmosphere of the event, where you see this mix of fierce competition and pure silliness. The pacing is relaxed, letting the personalities of the gurners shine through. There's something refreshing about how it embraces the absurd, showing that art can be anything—even making the ugliest faces. The practical effects? Well, they’re just the gurners themselves, pulling these ridiculous expressions that are somehow both hilarious and oddly endearing. It's definitely a charming slice of life that feels completely offbeat yet quite genuine.
