The Purge of Beauties

About This Movie

The Purge of Beauties is an interesting entry, though a bit under the radar. The tone feels gritty and surreal, like it exists in this twisted alternate reality. Pacing is somewhat erratic, which might throw some viewers off, but it creates an unsettling atmosphere that lingers. The practical effects here are notable, adding a rawness that enhances the film's themes of beauty and societal standards. Performances are varied; some actors really lean into their roles while others feel a bit more restrained. There’s this strange charm to how it tackles such heavy themes, though it doesn’t always land, which makes it distinctive in its own way.

The Purge of Beauties, released in 2017, hasn't received a wide release, which has made it somewhat scarce in collector circles. There are various formats available, but finding a physical copy can be a challenge. Interest among collectors seems to be growing, particularly for those who appreciate indie films with unconventional narratives and striking visuals.
