Ugly Me: My Life With Body Dysmorphia

About This Movie

Ugly Me: My Life With Body Dysmorphia is a raw and intimate documentary that really digs into the psyche of Liane, a 29-year-old grappling with body dysmorphic disorder. The way it captures her journey over a year, alongside her boyfriend Mitch, feels almost like a fly-on-the-wall experience. You see her struggles with self-image and the therapeutic process led by Professor David Veale, which adds this layer of depth and authenticity. The pacing is steady, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of Liane's feelings. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of its power; it’s very real. There’s no gloss, just the stark reality of living with a hidden condition, and that’s what makes it stand out.
