So, Pretty Ugly dives into this wild territory of beauty standards and self-image, right? It’s like a raw look at how society’s obsession with looks can be turned upside down. The pacing is a bit unorthodox, not your typical documentary flow, and it gives you space to really soak in the interviews and the candid moments. Del, the protagonist, is pretty fascinating as he runs this model agency that rejects conventional beauty. There’s a quirky charm to it, but it also raises some heavy questions about what ‘ugly’ really means. The atmosphere feels both liberating and a bit unsettling, which is what makes it stand out in the sea of fluffier documentaries. Definitely a thought-provoking watch.
